First Look: The Notebook Begins Broadway Rehearsals

The Notebook is heading to Broadway this spring and the company is now in rehearsals. Take a look at composer Ingrid Michaelson alongside leading stars Joy Woods, Ryan Vasquez, Maryann Plunkett and more on the first day of rehearsal.

The Notebook is a new musical based on the best selling novel that inspired the iconic film. Allie and Noah, both from different worlds, share a lifetime of love despite the forces that threaten to pull them apart, in a deeply moving portrait of the enduring power of love.

The new musical will play at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, beginning previews Tuesday, February 10, 2024, ahead of a Thursday, March 14, 2024 opening night.

Directors Michael Greif (Dear Evan Hansen, Next to Normal, RENT) and Schele Williams (Aida, Motown the Musical) team up with multi-platinum singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson on music and lyrics, with book by playwright Bekah Brunstetter (NBC’s This Is Us) and choreography by Katie Spelman.

Take a look at photos from the first day of rehearsal below.
