As part of TODAY's 'Best of Broadway Week,' writer Ingrid Michaelson and the cast of The Notebook stopped by the show on Thursday to perform a medley of songs from the newly Tony-nominated musical.
Before the performance, Michaelson and Tony nominees Maryann Plunkett and Dorian Harewood discussed the show with the hosts of the morning show.
They reminisced about the fact that Michaelson had previously announced that she was doing the musical on that very show.
Michaelson said that receiving three Tony nominations feels "amazing."
"Maryann and Dorian are the heart of this show...It's unbelievable to write music and to not sing it and to see other people metabolize that. And to see the audiences and how they are just being so moved every night....it's the dream I never knew I could dream."
The medley included the songs "Dance With Me" and "Carry You Home." Following the medley, Ryan Vasquez also performed the song "Leave The Light On."
