Girl from the North Country - 2022 Broadway History , Info & More
Belasco Theatre (Broadway)
111 West 44th St. New York, NY
In 1934, during the height of the Great Depression, everyone was searching for something. In a time-weathered guesthouse Minnesota, an unlikely group of strangers comes together with little other than hope and a need to survive in common.
Only a song can shake off the dust for one group of wayward souls-and old dreams may hold the promise of new beginnings. As they come in and out of each other's lives, their stories awaken with passion, fury and extraordinary beauty. Reimagining the music of Bob Dylan as roof-raising ensemble pieces and soul-stirring solos, playwright and director Conor McPherson weaves this story of faith, family, heartbreak, and love.

‘Girl From the North Country’ Broadway Review: Bob Dylan’s Songs Get Tangled Up in Melodrama
5 / 10
Something similar is going on in the theater, only different. 'Flyover porn' is too strong, so let's call it 'country pulp fiction.' After engagements in London and Off Broadway's Public Theater, the musical 'Girl From the North Country' opened Thursday at Broadway's Belasco Theatre. It features 20 songs by Bob Dylan that have nothing to do with the lurid Depression-era melodrama written by Conor McPherson, who hails from Dublin. The story's connection to the legendary songwriter hinges entirely on the show's setting, a boarding house in Dylan's hometown of Duluth, Minnesota. The result could be titled 'Not So Grand Hotel' or 'Really Hot L Duluth.'
Review: Bob Dylan musical 'Girl From the North Country’ is nothing less than a Broadway revelation
9 / 10
Far closer to Eugene O'Neill's 'The Iceman Cometh' than 'Mamma Mia!,' the beguiling and beautiful new show at the Belasco Theatre is hardly a Bob Dylan jukebox musical. Sure, the score for 'Girl From the North Country,' an ensemble piece that showcases Mare Winningham in an extraordinarily intense and musically compelling performance, is comprised of more than 20 of the legendary protest-warbler's iconic compositions, ranging from 'Slow Train' to 'Like a Rolling Stone' and 'All Along the Watchtower' to 'Forever Young.'
