"This was my first Broadway show and I am extremely impressed! The theater staff did an excellent job at capturing all the scenes in The Notebook. The transitions from past to present scenes was executed flawlessly and the attention to detail was there. The entire cast did a phenomenal job. Experiencing this level of theater makes me want to see more Broadway shows. Loved the live orchestra!"

Life changing
"The Notebook has now become one of, if not, the best show I’ve ever seen in my life. I have never been so emotionally invested in a show. The dialogue and acting was so natural that I forgot I was in an audience. The story is devastating yet so loving, between bawling my eyes out I was laughing at such perfectly placed comedic relief. The way in which love was portrayed is unlike anything I’ve seen in a show before. Without sounding like the dramatic theatre kid that I am, I do truly feel like it changed my life a bit. I haven’t seen the movie before so I wouldn’t be able to comment on how similar they are. The music was fabulous, Joy Woods is an absolute star she was so captivating and has such a beautiful voice. John Cardoza and Jordan Tyson’s voices were also outstanding. Maryann Plunkett and Dorian Harewood stole my heart as Older Allie and Older Noah, I was rooting for them the entire time and their performances came across so real. Carson Stewart as Johnny/Fin was my absolute favourite, his comedic timing was fantastic. The main cast playing the older/middle/younger versions of Allie and Noah did such an amazing job of keeping core aspects of the character while also representing them at different stages in their lives. The whole cast were spectacular as well as the orchestra. The use of the rain and the staging when there were flashbacks was also gorgeous. I would love to see the show again to see it better as I was crying the entire time so I perhaps may have missed a few things. So grateful to have gotten to see this show ❤️"

LOVED IT
"This show was fantastic! I honestly didn’t know what do expect and how it would be as a musical!! I was extremely impressed! The acting and singing was amazing! The set was very unique and creative. It was my daughter’s first Broadway show. She loved it. We sat in the balcony and thought the view was great. We were thinking that being on the main level would not be as good as views."
