"I came to The Notebook, knowing I was going to see a romance show, but what surprised me is how it’s so much more than “just a romance.” My husband chose not to go with me because he didn’t feel like a sappy romance, but I told him he really missed out on a deeply human show that touches on aging, love, relationships with lovers, friends and family. I must admit that the Kleenex’s I brought were completely soaked by the end. I was most especially touched by the love that I clearly saw in the old Noah for his wife who is struggling with Alzheimer’s. In the movie, you barely see them, but in the play, they are ever present, which reminds the audience that love is so much more than just physical attraction, it’s enduring and deep. I highly recommend this show!"

"The entire performance was brilliant. It was our first Broadway show and I can’t imagine ever topping it. So beautifully done. The cast, orchestra, stage and sets, were all top notch. Stellar performance that I would love to see again. BRAVO to ALL! The staff was wonderful and so helpful and the theater was divine. A fabulous experience all around. ❤️ "

"Everyone can relate to this highly emotional story. Cast members are all top notch. New younger super talented actors (young Noah and Allie) bring a spark to the play I had not seen before when I saw the play back in May. Great performances! A must see to musicals lovers before it ends on December. "

"I brought my wife to see a recent Saturday matinee as I hoped she would enjoy it. Never did I expect that I would equally enjoy it and be moved to tears. We did not expect some of the humorous moments or how perfectly the evolution of the couple was portrayed. Literally, half the place was bawling. The singing, the acting, the staging-the amazing music. Man, it is one hell of a show. Bravo to the entire cast. Thank you for an amazing time, and thanks for getting me interested in acting again. "

"The moment I walked into the theater, I was taken by the set design. Then the show started and a powerfully executed story was told. Great performances from everyone in the show. Musically, the score is perfectly suited to the show. Go see The Notebook!!"

"Loved the Notebook. The entire cast was so very talented. The director did a great job of showcasing young Noah and Allie with their older selves. Very well done. Didn’t include everything in the book or movie; but the music more than made up for it. "

"My husband and I did not know anything about the story before we went. We were pleasantly surprised. This production had it all - a warm and tender love story, humor, and great musical numbers performed by a great cast. Both of us (and a lot of those around us) were moved to tears. To me, that says something when the audience is moved to tears by a wonderful script and a group of very talented actors. A must see!!"

"The notebook is my number one favorite movie and to see this become a musical was the absolute best thing I’d recommended for everyone to see it. Will have you laughing and tearing just as it’s described but better whether you seen the movie or not you get the message. It’s so powerful. "

"The story held true to the book and movie. It was very well done. The cast and crew were superb. I didn’t think my husband would enjoy the play as much as me but he loved it, too. The downside is I’m truly sorry the Notebook’s final performance is in December. If you have the opportunity to see this play, please do, you won’t be disappointed."

"I would not have been running to see The Notebook on Broadway, but a review by a trusted friend lead me to buy a ticket. And boy am I glad I did. What a beautiful show! SO moving. I'm don't think I've ever seen a theater of more people moved to tears. I was already a bubbling mess at intermission, and by the end I was crying out loud in my seat. I didn't move for at least 5 mins when the lights came up. Fantastic performances, especially by the Older versions of the characters. (And the young versions were stellar as well). What a book! Such a shame it is closing. Go see this show!"

"It is a powerful emotional experience. The story is well constructed the cast is superb. The stagecraft is extraordinary. The only aspect that in my opinion could be improved is the music. The music were more in a romantic vein with a few songs that could be remembered for the melody line and for the lyrics, I think this show would run for years on Broadway, but I do want to emphasize that is a very enjoyable and worthwhile show experience "
