Review by Naveen Kumar: The creators of the new Broadway show “The Notebook,” including singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson and “This Is Us” writer and producer Bekah Brunstetter, target feeling at the expense of character, specificity or surprise. https://t.co/280S7hZ1fy
BROADWAY REVIEW: ‘The Notebook’ is an unexpectedly sophisticated tearjerker “The Notebook” is still “The Notebook” to some degree, but if you’re not thrilled and teary as the strings come in, I can’t imagine being your friend. @ChrisJonesTrib https://t.co/i615oFSWao
