Ingrid Michaelson updates fans on 'The Notebook' musical adaptation
Previews start Sept. 6 at Chicago Shakespeare Theater.
The musical adaptation of the beloved novel and film "The Notebook" is nearly here.
Ingrid Michaelson, who is doing music and lyrics for the show, recently offered an update for fans, saying, "After many delays, I am so excited to report that our magical musical (that I have been working on since 2017) is finally going to be out in the world at @chicagoshakes!"
The "Be OK" singer said previews start Sept. 6 and the show runs until Oct. 16 at Chicago Shakespeare Theater, with tickets already on sale.
"The concept of unending devotion and love wrapped up in memory and family is something very close to my own personal life," Michaelson said in a press release. "The story sings to me so perfectly."
The musical for "The Notebook" is directed by Michael Greif and Schele Williams, with a book by playwright Bekah Brunstetter.
It's based on the 1996 Nicholas Sparks novel of the same name, which has already spawned a massively popular 2004 film directed by Nick Cassavetes and starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams.
"The Notebook" tells the love story of Noah and Allie, two people from different worlds who have a romance that spans their entire lifetimes, though not without its ups and downs.
