Aisha Jackson is set to join the Broadway production of “The Notebook,” taking on the role of Middle Allie starting October 22 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.
Jackson’s casting marks a significant transition in the show as she takes over for Joy Woods, who has played Middle Allie since the show’s debut.
