Loved this comment from book reviewer ron Charles.
Speaking of immortal novels, Nicholas Sparks’s 1996 bestseller, “The Notebook,” is now a musical at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. (Someone just drove a stake into Harold Bloom’s heart.) Adding musical numbers to “The Notebook” sounds like pouring marshmallow sauce on a lollipop, but I need to be careful what I say because my younger daughter has cried through the 2004 movie adaptation approximately 8 gazillion times. You can see clips of the play here. And yes, of course, it rains on the stage.
(I doubt the link carried over.)
