In 1996 Nicholas Sparks' romantic novel became a bestseller. Eight years later it was adapted to a classic movie starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. And now, the love story that was 'a song, a dream, a whisper,' is a Broadway musical.
Every Broadway show has a souvenir stand for things like T-shirts and mugs. But at a new musical that opened this past week, they're selling boxes of tissues. 'I guess this is one of the hottest little merch on Broadway, according to articles that I've been reading,' said writer Nicholas Sparks. 'It is a tissue box. It's got the logo of the play!'Sparks has published 24 romance novels, all bestsellers. They've sold 130 million copies and been made into 11 movies.
'From the very beginning, we knew we wanted three Allies and three Noahs,' Michaelson said. 'You can have an older version of a character watching their younger self. Especially since we are dealing with memory so much, and losing memory and fragmented memory, that having these other versions of themselves on stage really helpful.'No Nicholas Sparks romance novel has ever included a Black main character.
