Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ knew that the ultimate showdown for the title of the world’s most romantic story was about to go down when Nicholas Sparks released his best-selling debut novel in 1996. Come 2004 - the release of the iconic film of the same name, and ‘Romeo and Juliet’ had to lay down the firsts for that top spot.
And now, just about twenty years later, ‘The Notebook’ is a musical, ingeniously adapted by Bekah Brunstetter and music and lyrics by Ingrid Michaelson, and ’The Notebook Musical’ has claimed the throne.
‘The Notebook (The Musical)’ has revived love on the Broadway stage in 2024, and following the jaw-dropping musical’s massive success and rave reviews, it is bringing a wonderful and intimate experience for any and all to stages across the nation with its North American tour in 2026!
