The artistic director of MTC, Lynne Meadow, shared that she was "honoured" to give The Notebook actress her Broadway debut.
"I'm equally pleased and honored to give Rachel McAdams her Broadway debut after audiences have enjoyed her many renowned performances on film," she said.

Further casting has yet to be announced.
