The beloved, bestselling novel-turned-Hollywood film by Nicholas Sparks is now a swoon-worthy Broadway musical. Get The Notebook tickets on TodayTix now.

Following a successful bow in Chicago, The Notebook Broadway musical comes to New York City with music and lyrics by Emmy Award nominee and Billboard Hot 100 singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson. Experience this sweeping and romantic show about Allie and Noah, each from unique worlds, who share a lifetime of love despite the forces of war, class dynamics, and family differences that threaten to separate them.

A deeply moving portrait of the enduring power of love, The Notebook musical is a gorgeous, touching piece of theatre that puts goosebumps on your arms and flutters in your heart. See why the Chicago Sun-Times awarded the show four stars and raved that it is “superb — a stage musical for the ages.”

The Notebook has a storied history for only being a few decades old. Scooped up from the slush pile at a publisher’s office, Nicholas Sparks's now-famous novel was his debut as a writer. Tracing the effects of aging on the mind and heart, The Notebook sees an older couple remember their youth and the unforgettable love that once bound them together.

The book was published in 1996 and immediately placed on The New York Times bestseller list in its first week of release, ultimately spending more than a year as a bestselling hardcover.

Eight years later, the novel became a box office smash. The film, starring Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling, is one of the highest-grossing romantic dramas of all time. In a cast of Hollywood A-listers, Joan Allen, James Marsden, and Sam Shepard co-starred.

Now, this timeless story of love across the ages comes to Broadway to enchant, delight, and swoon audiences. Bekah Brunstetter (a three-time Emmy Award nominee for This Is Us) adapts Sparks’ acclaimed novel, and four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif (Rent, Grey Gardens, Next to Normal, and Dear Evan Hansen) and Schele Williams (The Wiz) co-direct this New York premiere.

What to Watch For

• Ingrid Michaelson returns to Broadway. The folksy, indie singer-songwriter has performed on Broadway before as Sonya in Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812. Now, she writes the score to her first Broadway musical.
• Michaelson is best known for writing the emotional songs featured on Grey's Anatomy — she feels handpicked to pen the score for this musical about the strangeness, thrills, and heartbreak of new and old love.
• Three actors each play Allie and Noah at different stages of their youth and adulthood. This is a popular casting structure in Broadway musicals, seen also in shows like Fun Home and The Cher Show.
• The Notebook marks Schele Williams's Broadway directing debut, but she's quickly following it up with the first revival of The Wiz later in 2024.
