While Michaelson has released nine studio albums, including multiple gold and platinum singles over her 17-year career, this marks her first Cast Recording. 
Ingrid Michaelson said, “Writing this musical has been one of the greatest joys in my life. I am beyond excited to welcome everyone into our world.”
Grammy-winning producer of The Notebook Kurt Deutsch said, “I have been making Original Cast Recordings for the past 25 years, but The Notebook is my first time lead-producing a Broadway show, and has been a labor of love for over eight years. Bringing this cast recording to life, along with Ingrid and our dream team of actors and musicians, is a dream come true.”
“Ever since seeing an early performance of The Notebook in Chicago in 2022, we’ve wanted to work with Ingrid, Kurt, Kevin and their amazing team on this album,” said GRAMMY® Award-winning Atlantic Records President, A&R Pete Ganbarg. “Ingrid’s music for the show is both emotionally powerful and heartbreakingly beautiful. We can’t wait to share this cast recording with the world.”
ABOUT THE NOTEBOOK THE MUSICAL
Allie and Noah, two people 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. Based on the book that has sold millions of copies worldwide and a film that is one of the highest-grossing romantic dramas of all-time, the musical adaptation of The Notebook comes to Broadway following a critically acclaimed world premiere engagement at Chicago Shakespeare Theater in the fall of 2022. Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune called The Notebook “absolutely gorgeous – not to be missed,” and Steven Oxman of the Chicago Sun-Times called it “superb – a stage musical for the ages.”
The Notebook features scenic design by David Zinn and Brett J. Banakis, costume design by Paloma Young, lighting design by Ben Stanton, sound design by Nevin Steinberg, hair and wig design by Mia Neal, and projection design by Lucy Mackinnon. The production’s music supervisor is Carmel Dean, who also collaborated on arrangements with Ingrid Michaelson and on orchestrations with John Clancy, and the music director is Geoffrey Ko. Casting by The Telsey Office, Patrick Goodwin, CSA.
