The musical adaptation of The Notebook will make its anticipated premiere on Broadway this coming spring. Previews will begin at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre February 10, 2024 ahead of a March 14 opening night.
Based on the best-selling Nicholas Sparks novel, the new musical features music and lyrics by singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson, with a book by playwright Bekah Brunstetter. The production first made its critically acclaimed world premiere at Chicago Shakespeare Theater last fall. See what the critics had to say here.
The musical follows Allie and Noah, who share a lifetime of love despite the forces that threaten to pull them apart. The core creative team members from the Chicago Shakespeare Theater run will return for the Broadway production—with direction by Michael Greif (Dear Evan Hansen, Rent) and Schele Williams (Aida, Motown the Musical), and choreography by Katie Spelman.
Casting for the Broadway bow will be announced at a later date.
