"These humans. These angels. I am beyond grateful for these people and the rest of the cast and team and everyone involved with #notebookmusical. To be able to announce our cast is knocking me over at the moment," Michaelson wrote on Instagram last month.

She added, "We have made something so magical and so human. I can not wait for the world to see. We need some magical human-ness right about now. 📖."

Michaelson announced back in 2019 while co-hosting the Today show's fourth hour that she was penning the score to the musical version of The Notebook. The 2004 film adaptation of the bestselling book starred Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams.

"It's been a long process for me," Michaelson said at the time. "But it's been slowly building … I haven't been able to talk about it because we've been in negotiations and getting directors and stuff. But finally, my producers signed off and said this is a perfect way to announce it."

"Oh god, I feel like I've birthed a child," she joked.

Asked by host Hoda Kotb if the songs have been coming easy, Michaelson said "weirdly, yes and no."

"It's so different when you're writing for a character, when you're writing for these other people, than when you're writing about yourself or your own emotions," she said. "So it's been really interesting and really different for me to write from these perspectives. And just the idea of this undying love and of loss and memory — I can't stop writing them. I'm going to have too many."

The Notebook will play from Sept. 6 through Oct. 16 in The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare. For more information and tickets, visit www.chicagoshakes.com/notebook.
