SO DISAPPOINTED
One of my favorite movies of all time turned into a very disappointing musical with no memorable music and a book that also got lost in the way director told the story/ many audiences left at intermission but I did decide to stay / this needs a major major overhaul if it moves past this production.

LACKLUSTER, THERE WAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL FOR AN AMAZING MUSICAL
I love the Notebook and I love Ingrid Michaelson but this musical just didn’t do the story justice. The storyline was confusing, even for someone who knows what happens. The lyrics were not captivating and the music itself didn’t have enough punch. As much as I love Ingrid, I think she may have had too much direction for this production. It could have had more musical-esque flare under a different director. Though I enjoyed the opportunity to see a musical at this venue, I was disappointed in the Notebook.

THE SECOND ACT PICKED UP .
We saw this production in New York and the first act was very confusing wi the the characters flashbacks flash forwards - not much chemistry between the actors and the songs were just ok . Singing was very good. Act 2 was slightly better but not really emotional and realistic

THE NOTEBOOK NOT
We went to the Shakespeare theater in Navy Pier to see the Notebook. I want to start by saying I read the book and saw the movie. This display that was performed was horrible. It was nothing like the movie or book. They should day it's a parody of rhe movie. Do not waste your time or money it was horrible
