A family down on their luck attempts to survive the Great Depression, all set to the tune of Bob Dylan’s somber yet emotional folk songs.
Girl From the North Country 2020 on Broadway Background
Girl From the North Country is a musical written and directed by Conor McPherson, an Irish playwright who broke into the industry with his 1997 play, The Weir, which would go on to win him the 1999 Laurence Olivier award for “Best Play”. McPherson’s new musical originally debuted in 2017 at The Old Vic theatre in London but was soon transferred to the West End following the show’s success.
In anticipation for its Broadway debut, the show had several North American tryouts, first at the Public Theatre in New York, followed by another at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto.
Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Feature Prominently
The show is jam-packed with many of Bob Dylan’s greatest and most memorable songs, yet does not act as a traditional jukebox musical. Despite the fact that it incorporates nearly 20 of the songwriters hits, the songs are used as emotional backing to emphasize the struggles and heartbreak of the characters involved, rather than being the show’s main focus.
