Chicago Shakespeare Theater has debuted a first look music video of the song “If This Is Love” from the world premiere of the anticipated new musical, The Notebook, performed in-studio by Ingrid Michaelson, who is writing the production’s music and lyrics.
The new musical, based on the bestselling novel by Nicholas Sparks that inspired the much loved film, runs in The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare Theater from 6 September to 16 October 2022.
Allie and Noah, both from different worlds, share a lifetime of love despite the forces that threaten to pull them apart, in a deeply moving portrait of the enduring power of love.
Broadway directors Michael Greif (Dear Evan Hansen, Next to Normal, RENT) and Schele Williams (Aida, Motown the Musical) team up with multi-platinum singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson on music and lyrics, book by playwright Bekah Brunstetter (writer and producer on NBC’s This Is Us), and choreography by Katie Spelman.
