"The Notebook" - Review by Carol Moore
***** Highly Recommended ***** My first question when I I heard Chicago Shakespeare was turning "The Notebook" into a musical, was, why? After all, Nicholas Sparks’ best-selling novel (which I read more than once) had already been made into an iconic movie (which I’ve seen and didn't love). What a dumb question! Ingrid Michaelson’s melodic, emotional score fits the story perfectly. I thought Bekah Brunstetter’s adaptation was better than the movie! The production is superb, the voices divine! Be sure to bring your tissues, you’ll need them! 4 BIG Spotlights
