The Notebook - The Musical?


Indeed.

From a story in the Guardian...

According to entertainment blog Zap2It, the musical is being written by One Tree Hill star Bethany Joy Galeotti and Ron Aniello, who staged a reading in North Carolina two years ago.

"We're still in development of this process," Sparks explained, "but the best way that I've always found, and it's what I've done in Hollywood or whether it's working with the publishers that I've worked with for a long time, is to work with people that you really trust, who understand what it's about and they want to take that and mold it into something new."

The Notebook was Sparks's first published novel and centres on 80-year-old Noah reading his diaries to his wife in a nursing home. They detail his experiences of love as a youth. Aged 31, having just returned from military service in the second world war, Noah is reunited with his ex-lover Allie, sparking a passionate affair.
