The Notebook. Theater Review.

Upload ImageEmbed VideoUnsplash image



Click to update image

"The Notebook" is based on the 1996 novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks. The 2004 movie was directed by Nick Cassavetes, from a screenplay by Jeremy Leven and Jan Sardi. In its current Broadway production, the book is by Bekah Brunstetter and the music and lyrics is by Ingrid Michaelson.

The musical has two directors: four time Tony nominee Michael Greif and Schele Williams who is making a Broadway debut. Williams is also going to be directing the highly anticipated "The Wiz" which is opening in April.

In the current musical we get three Noah's and three Allie's... younger, middle and older. For the most part the six are good; I thought that the younger Allie (Jordan Tyson) was woefully miscast. Where Allie came from money, was a proper girl, this younger Allie ex-hued none of that. More like an inner city persona, Tyson was just not believable.

In Brett J. Banakis gorgeous set design we get a wonderful slide movement throughout the two hours fifteen minutes.Equally as effective is the sound by Nevin Steinberg and the costumes by Paloma Young. The effective orange and blue lighting by Ben Stanton too made the mood well in tune with the plot.

The musical for the most part was very similar to the movie, two young people fall deeply in love with one another and even though ten years has gone by, they never stop thinking of each other. The key to the musicals success is that the three different sets of Noah and Allie need to all be effective. Whereas Maryann Plunkett as the elder and Dorian Harewood as the husband are excellent, we get the best interaction between Joy Woods and Ryan Vasquez, the middle aged actors; their singing and body language is captivating. The two are silky smooth on stage! Even though John Cardoza holds up his end as the younger Noah, it is Tyson who is an anchor around his neck. Even though Tyson has a very good singing voice, her Broadway debut falls flat.

The two opening scenes, both first act and second act fire on all cylinders. It is the second act, however, where this show excels. The songs, the pace and the story all come together nicely. Songs like "We Have To Try", "Forever", "It's Not Easy", "I Know" and "Coda" were all well sung songs; the lyrics too were catchy and fit the moment of the plot. The first act too had some nice songs: "Time", "Leave The Light On", "If This Is Love" were most memorable. Having some great moments in the first act, it still didn't compare the the afternoons second act.

For the romantics out there, "The Notebook" is for the most part an entertaining show. The choreography (Katie Spelman) is underwhelming, as is some of the ensemble cast. Allie's parents: Andrea Burns and Charles E. Wallace are not moving in their parts. Burns was much more effective in her role as nurse Lori.Neither actor brought depth as parents to Allie, they were mostly robotic and aloof.

.....................................................................................................................

Next up is Water for Elephants at The Imperial Theatre. This musical is based on the circus and maybe a real sleeper when it comes a show that may just wow the audience.

Since many good shows have opened but unexpectedly closed in a rather quick fashion (Spamelot, Days of Wine and Roses, Shucked), this musical may surprise to the upside.

It seems that shows that aren't unanimously well received, and in Shucked case was, are closing with not spending much time on the great white way.

Hamilton -- National Tour, Academy of Music

Hamilton — National Tour, Academy of Music

  Sweep on several levels accounts for the achievement and excitement of “Hamilton.” It’s no wonder it’s earned both critical acclaim and popular support since the Lin-Manuel Miranda burst of the theatrical scene in 2015.        Miranda manages to ace a feat that has daunted and defeated many. He has taken a person from history, to my mind the second most important figure in all of American…

[eternally-tired-cryptid]

I did art in honor of Hadestown winning Eight Tony's

Y'all have no idea how happy I was watching the Tony's last night. Every time Hadestown won something I was so excited, every time I heard a speech from the ones accepting it I cried, and I got to see a glimpse into what the Broadway version of the show was.

Of course I got inspired (and also couldn't sleep after the show finished), so I took a stab at drawing Persephone

Tony's Won by Hadestown:

Rachel Chavkin won the Tony for Best Direction of a Musical

Anaïs Mitchell won the Tony for Best Score (music and lyrics)

André De Shields won the Tony for Best Featured Actor in a Musical

Rachel Hauck won the Tony for Best Scenic Design

Micheal Chorney and Todd Sickafoose won the Tony for Best Orchestration

Bradley King won the Tony for Best Lighting Design

Nevin Steinberg and Jessica Paz won the Tony for Best Sound Design

And of course, last but not least

Hadestown won the Tony for Best Musical

(This is my own art please do not steal it or repost or any of that thanks!)
