YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Celebrity The Notebook is being turned into a musical By You Magazine - January 4, 2019 Everybody’s favourite romantic film The Notebook is now being made into a musical. The 1996 novel, which was made into a movie in 2004, is being adapted for a stage audience by singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson, producer Bekah Brunstetter and Nicholas Sparks, who wrote the beloved story. Melissa Moseley/New Line/Kobal/REX/Shutterstock Michaelson confirmed the news on NBC’s Today Show, and later took to Twitter to express her excitement, writing: ‘I. Can’t. Believe. This. Is. Happening.’ Writer Sparks also echoed Michaelson’s enthusiasm when he wrote on his Twitter account: ‘Excited to share BIG NEWS… #TheNotebook is coming to Broadway! Playwright and #ThisIsUs producer Bekah Brunstetter will be writing the adaptation, w/ artist @Ingridmusic handling music and lyrics. Thrilled to work w/ everyone on bringing this to stage!’ He later confirmed to Deadline again that he was ‘thrilled’ to work alongside Michaelson and Brunstetter. ‘They are amazingly talented, and obviously, the story is near and dear to my heart,’ he said. The bad news for us Brits is that so far, the theatre production has only been announced in the U.S. on Broadway. We are holding out hopes however that following its inevitable success, it will come to London’s West End. Rex Features/Shutterstock There is little further information about when the show will be ready for theatre audiences, or when casting will open – but we can’t wait to see who takes on the lead roles we associate with Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams so strongly. The pair starred as Noah and Allie in the hit 2004 movie, which many still count as one of the best romantic films of all time. IMDB listed The Notebook as their number two top romance films, sandwiched by two other Nicholas Sparks greats: Dear John and The Last Song. We are looking forward to hearing from Gosling and McAdams to see what they think of the exciting news… RELATED ARTICLESMORE FROM AUTHOR 50 of the best celebrity Halloween costumes of all time Shirley Ballas ‘ Strictly gave me back my hope’ Davina McCall discusses how men can help women going through the menopause Popular in Celebrity TV chef Gino D Acampo on Sardinia Sophia Loren and scary salads May 25, 2017 The Evergreen Goddess Exercise guru Diana Moran on looking fit and July 10, 2017 More more Julianne Moore November 13, 2017 Author Jill Mansell on designer notebooks commissioning art and the family January 16, 2018 EMOTIONAL TIES Kelly Hoppen on vodka vintage finds and being a April 4, 2018 ‘ I have no regrets’ Millie Mackintosh on divorce debt and reuniting May 20, 2018 EMOTIONAL TIES TV presenter and tennis player Annabel Croft shares her July 1, 2018 Stella Parton ‘ Dolly and I have always been close’ August 12, 2018 Anna Friel on getting jeered in the street shared parenting with September 23, 2018 Queen of primetime Charlotte Riley on juggling rising stardom with pregnancy October 21, 2018 Popular CategoriesFood2704Life2496Fashion2240Beauty1738Celebrity1261Interiors684 Sign up for YOUMail Thanks for subscribing Please check your email to confirm (If you don't see the email, check the spam box) Fashion Beauty Celebrity Life Food Privacy & Cookies T&C Copyright 2022 - YOU Magazine.
