omg guys, Nicholas Sparks, author of the Notebook and million other books designed to drag tears out of you, was on The Early Show yesterday and suddenly in the middle of talking about his latest soon to be in grocery stores everywhere paperback, the host just said "So 'The Notebook' is going to Broadway" and he just said "Yes" like this isn't news.
Well Mr. Sparks, this IS news. Not only is the book-turned movie being adapted for the stage, it's being adapted as a musical! So in the not too distant future, rain will pour on a bearded RyGos wannabe while he sing-fight-kisses the next Lea Michele in front of a packed house of Midwestern tourists. I don't know if I'm horrified or hypnotized by that idea.
In conclusion, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are the reigning champions of the MTV Movie Awards Best Kissed Acceptance, so suck it Twi-hards.

ps. UPDATE: It turns out this musical was presented as a work-in-progress two years ago, and the music will be war-time era american standard and swing, bluegrass, and gospel. Also, one of the composers is the girl One Tree Hill who always sings. Leaning more towards horror. but still pretty hypnotized. Here's the official website: The Notebook Musical

EXTRA! EXTRA!
YO, okay. Maybe I was out of the loop. Maybe you're also out of the loop.
Did anyone else know this was actually happening?
NEWSIES: The Musical??!?!
Welp, a friend of mine just went to see it and said it was outstanding, but that the story is a little different. Its at this community theater in NJ which is essentially professional. (Its a community theater where only equity actors can perform or work the show...yannow?) Now, considering the names attached to this show (Alan Menken, Harvey Fierstein) and the fact that its at this particular theater means its going to Broadway. The Paper Mill Playhouse used to be where I took tap dancing classes, but now its been the minor leagues that develop shows like Mary Poppins and Spiderman.
So, here's the cast performing on the View. Cant wait to buy my tickets while they're still only $25.
