FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Girl From the North Country
Review: Girl From The North Country
7 / 10
GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY was not what I expected. This musical had a lot of good laughs, but also a lot of dreariness. I guess that should be expected for a play set in the depression, but still I expected more hope than what we got. There were several plotlines that didn’t really always intersect, but they did shed light on the complexity of each of the characters. Hopefully reading this will help you stay up to speed on the many characters and their unique storylines while you’re at the show.
‘Girl from the North Country’ falls short
5 / 10
As a Dylan fan, I missed the roughness of his performance style, even though I love covers of his songs by artists like Joan Baez. Despite the folksy edge and period instruments, many of the arrangements were molded into a musical theater mode, so they start to sound much like each other and like the anthems and ballads in so many other shows. The compensation is that most of the ensemble members have marvelous voices, so the solos, group numbers and chorales all sound great.

At Belk Theater, with a house twice as large as the venues where GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY played London and Broadway, the touring musical seems more like a distant mirage than a precious rolling stone by a dream team.The Belk's wretched sound further hamstrings Conor McPherson's book and Bob Dylan's music and lyrics.

Perhaps without knowing it, McPherson, the show’s creative collective and everyone involved with bringing Girl From The North Country to the stage have created the perfect musical for Nashville’s discerning theater audiences, people who know a thing or two about appreciating music, art and live performance. Only when you begin to leave the theater, perhaps awestruck by what you have just experienced, will you realize the gravity of what you have just seen.

Calling Girl From The North Country a 'jukebox musical' is not only a misnomer, but it completely misses the point of Irish playwright/director Conor McPherson’s acclaimed Broadway musical that features a score by Bob Dylan, according to actress Jennifer Blood, who plays Elizabeth Laine in the national touring company that begins its weeklong stand at Nashville’s Tennessee Performing Arts Center tonight.
