Review: GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY at Orpheum Memphis
by AniKatrina Fageol - Oct 9, 2024
Let me start off by saying, never have I left the theatre feeling so confused. That, apparently, is to be expected from 'Girl from the North Country', the latest Orpheum Memphis feature.

It’s not a happy little romp and not structured like your typical musical. But if you can get past the bleak and let those voices wash over you, it’s a tragically beautiful ride, assuming they can work out some of those sound mixing issues in the theater.
