“The moody music and lyrics from the Bob Dylan playbook both define and heighten Conor McPherson’s haunting vision of the Depression… Overall, the morose music captures the bleakness of the period and the down-and-out hopelessness of those Americans who barely lived through it.” - Variety
Named after the singer-songwriter's classic folk song, Girl from the North Country premiered in 2017, performing at The Old Vic before transferring to West End London. The week-long stint was a great success, stealing three wins from the Laurence Olivier Awards.
It then found its way to the US in 2018 at New York's Public Theatre. Here, it won an esteemed Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Musical. In 2019, the show finally performed on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre. Despite the abrupt cancellation because of the global pandemic, it received seven Tony Award nominations, winning in the Best Orchestrations category.
