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," "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. Experience this "profoundly beautiful" production (The New York Times) brought to vivid life by an extraordinary company of actors and musicians.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Girl From the North Country
Review: ‘Girl From the North Country’ blows into the Pantages on a Bob Dylan wind
7 / 10
The book is unwieldy and far too complicated for a musical that shifts gears into songs that have their own lyrical intricacy. The numbers are staged in a manner that’s more or less independent from the fictional dilemmas giving rise to them. Sometimes the performers croon before a standing microphone. Other times they assemble in the style of a gospel chorus. “I Want You” is one of the exceptions, coming at a time when Gene and his ex-girlfriend Kate (Chiara Trentalange) are acknowledging in song what they are doing a shabby job of hiding in their cool goodbye. (Biggers and Trentalange make the most of their number.)
Review: GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY at Bass Concert Hall
7 / 10
In set design and staging, we see these stories packed together tightly in the living spaces of the boarding house, much like the families of the Great Depression would have been cramped into their own homes. The audience begins to understand that there is little privacy, an ever-present need for money and stability, and the near-impossibility of staying out of each other’s way physically, temperamentally, and emotionally. They eat elbow-to-elbow, they dance within inches of one another, and inevitably collide disastrously with one another, ultimately surrounding one another with death, violence, desperation, loneliness, and helplessness. Yet, as the best tragedies offer, there is beauty in the midst: hope glimpsed in the meeting of Marianne Laine and Joe Scott, grace offered from Mr. Perry to Gene Laine, tattered love salvaged by Nick for Elizabeth Laine, and strength claimed by Mrs. Neilsen. All of which is surrounded and amplified by Simon Hale and Conor McPherson’s stunning arrangements and orchestration of Dylan’s songs.

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.
