Written 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," "Hurricane," "Slow Train Coming," 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. Nick Laine is the head of the family, trying to keep his struggling boarding house afloat while caring for his mentally unwell wife Elizabeth, pregnant daughter Marianne and wayward son Gene. Guests come and go to the boarding house, bringing their own individual woes to the group while the specter of a global depression looms heavy on them all.

“Profoundly beautiful. This ravishing and singular musical hears America singing.” – The New York Times

“A rapture of a musical. Listen up: you’ll want to journey to the spiritually rousing Girl from the North Country.” – The Washington Post

“The beguiling and beautiful new show is audacious and arresting...” -The Chicago Tribune
