The great Bob Dylan's remarkable music in Tony Award-winning arrangements by Simon Hale and acclaimed playwright Conor McPherson's compelling story set in Duluth, Minnesota, 1934. Reminiscent of great American classics like Our Town, this fabulous partnership holds up a mirror to who we are and who we have been: “Profoundly beautiful. This ravishing and singular musical hears America singing.” – Ben Brantley, The New York Times. We are thrilled to present the Cape Cod premiere of the 7-time Tony nominated musical.
