The Notebook (Original Broadway Cast Recording) is also available for streaming and download. The album made its debut at #1 on Music Connect’s “Top Broadway” chart upon its release earlier this year and is highlighted by such show-stopping songs as “Carry You Home,” which recently won the 2024 Broadway.com Audience Choice Award for “Favorite New Song,” as well as Joy Woods’ stunning performance of “My Days,” now boasting over 4M worldwide streams and joined by an official music video, directed by Michaelson and streaming via YouTube.

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.
