The Notebook, the new musical based on the Nicholas Sparks novel that currently plays Broadway's Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, will launch a North American tour in fall 2025.
Performances will begin in September 2025 at Playhouse Square in Cleveland, Ohio, with casting and additional cities to be announced at a later date.
“We are thrilled to bring the iconic love story found in The Notebook to audiences across America,” said producers Kevin McCollum and Kurt Deutsch in a statement. “People fell in love with this story first as a novel, then as a much-revered film. And now they will be able to experience the heartfelt story of Allie and Noah live on stage, set to a moving and unforgettable score by the one and only Ingrid Michaelson with a book by Tony Award nominee Bekah Brunstetter.”
Featuring a book by Bekah Brunstetter and a score by Ingrid Michaelson, The Notebook follows Allie and Noah, who share a lifetime of love despite forces that threaten to pull them apart. The Broadway cast is led by Jordan Tyson as Younger Allie, Joy Woods as Middle Allie, and Tony winner Maryann Plunkett as Older Allie with John Cardoza as Younger Noah, Ryan Vasquez as Middle Noah, and Dorian Harewood as Older Noah.
The production is co-directed by Michael Greif (Dear Evan Hansen, Next to Normal) and Schele Williams (Aida, The Wiz), with choreography by Katie Spelman.
The musical also has scenic design by David Zinn and Brett J. Banakis, costume design by Paloma Young, lighting design by Ben Stanton, sound design by Nevin Steinberg, hair and wig design by Mia Neal, and projection design by Lucy Mackinnon. The production’s music supervisor is Carmel Dean, who also collaborated on arrangements with Michaelson and on orchestrations with John Clancy, and the music director is Geoffrey Ko.
