Written and directed by celebrated playwright Conor McPherson and featuring Tony Award-winning orchestrations by Simon Hale, GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY reimagines 20 legendary songs of Bob Dylan as they've never been heard before, including "Forever Young," "All Along The Watchtower" and "Like A Rolling Stone."
It's 1934 in Duluth, Minnesota. We meet a group of wayward travelers whose lives intersect in a guesthouse filled with music, life and hope. Experience this 'profoundly beautiful' production (The New York Times) brought to vivid life by an extraordinary company.
I wasn't sure what to expect but the show and characters were interesting and engaging. I loved the staging/choreography and the beautiful arrangements of such wonderful music. BRAVO!
Well…this was interesting. I estimate that less than 40% of the audience returned after intermission. The couple in front of me made it past 2 scenes. #enoughsaid P.S. - Vocals are fantastic. It’s sad, because the performers deserve to be cast in a much stronger musical…that actually has a storyline that remotely matches the music. Actors = 9/10 Script Writer….. 👀
The show was slow and half the theater left at intermission. Hard to hear dialogue-
Don't waste your money. A chaotic play with no plot. Fair Park has poor acoustics and many times its difficult to understand/hear what the actors are saying. Only saving grace...Jennifer Blood was outstanding as the mother. Wonderful voice...did an outstanding rendition of Like a Rolling Stone.
This musical is dark and depressing. There was very little dancing. Even the settings were dark and dreary. I would not recommend this musical to anyone unless they are huge fans of Bob Dylan and willing to sit through this tedious storyline to hear his music.
I was not familiar with this show only with Bob Dylan's music. This is a wonderful story that accentuates the unique music of Bob Dylan to look at a time in American history that shifted many lives. This touring cast is extremely talented and touched my heart deeply.
The vocals in Girl from North Country were outstanding!!! Beautiful voices and wonderful harmonies. However, the story line mixed with the songs was hard to follow. This is a musical that I will not be recommending to anyone nor will I see again.
We all have trails we have to overcome while existing with those around us. This production is a prime example with some unexpected and surprising endings.
Singers were outstanding. Dark and bad story and foul language.
Heard about this but first time seeing it - Loved it - Story line was a little hard to follow but the music was great, where we could hear some of Dylan's harmonies used in a very different way! The ensemble had some great vocals.
