The Notebook (Schoenfeld Theatre, Broadway) – ★★★★ REVIEW

OHMYGOD HEY! It’s MickeyJoTheatre!

As part of my trip to New York, I got to catch THE NOTEBOOK at the Schoenfeld Theatre, a new musical adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel.

The show casts three different actors as both Allie and Noah, portraying them in different moments of their love story, with an original score by Ingrid Michaelson. The Notebook features a book by Bekah Brunstetter, direction by Michael Greif and Schele Williams, and choreography by Katie Spelman.

The cast includes Tony Award-winner Maryann Plunkett as Older Allie, Dorian Harewood as Older Noah, Joy Woods as Middle Allie, Ryan Vasquez as Middle Noah, Jordan Tyson as Younger Allie, John Cardoza as Younger Noah, Andréa Burns as Mother/Nurse Lori, and Carson Stewart as Johnny/Fin. Playing various roles are Yassmin Alers, Alex Benoit, Chase Del Rey, Hillary Fisher, Jerome Harmann-Hardeman, Dorcas Leung, Happy McPartlin, Juliette Ojeda, Kim Onah, Charles E. Wallace, and Charlie Webb.
