A Musical Journey Through Bob Dylan’s Songs

Girl from the North Country is not just another musical—it’s a moving, soulful reimagining of 20 classic Bob Dylan songs. Set in 1934 in Duluth, Minnesota, the story unfolds in a guesthouse where the lives of wayward travelers converge. The show masterfully weaves Dylan’s timeless songs, including “Like a Rolling Stone,” “Forever Young,” and “All Along the Watchtower,” into a narrative that explores themes of hope, longing, and connection.

Written and directed by the renowned playwright Conor McPherson, this production has been hailed as “profoundly beautiful” by The New York Times. The orchestrations, overseen by Tony Award-winning Simon Hale, breathe new life into Dylan’s music, ensuring it resonates with both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
