The new Broadway musical The Notebook celebrated its opening night this week!

Singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson, who wrote the music for the new show, joined the cast at the celebration on Thursday night (March 14) at the Schoenfeld Theatre in New York City.

Three sets of actors portray the roles of Allie and Noah, who were made famous by Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling in the movie version.

Cast members Joy Woods (Middle Allie), Ryan Vazquez (Middle Noah), Maryann Plunkett (Older Allie), Dorian Harewood (Older Noah), Jordan Tyson (Younger Allie), and John Cardoza (Younger Noah) all walked the red carpet at the event. Director Schele Williams and original book author Nicholas Sparks also were in attendance!

“What truly sells the couple’s romance — and, by extension, the entire show — are the dazzling performances by every version of Noah and Allie,” wrote Entertainment Weekly.

The queens from the musical Six gave the final performance of the night at the Tonys!

Mallory Maedke, Samantha Pauly, Joy Woods, Abby Mueller, Adrianna Hicks, Brittney Mack, and Andrea Macasaet performed a mash-up of “Ex-Wives” and “Six” at the 2022 Tony Awards on Sunday (June 12) at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

The show was nominated for eight awards, including Best Musical, and it won two prizes – Best Original Score and Best Costume Design of a Musical. See photos of writers Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss accepting their award in the gallery!

After the performance, host Ariana DeBose pointed out that Mallory is an understudy and dance captain for the show and she filled in for the Tonys performance with just 12 hours notice.

In Six, the wives of Henry VIII take the mic to reclaim their identities out of the shadow of their infamous spouse—remixing five hundred years of historical heartbreak into a celebration of 21st century girl power.
