“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
Titled after Dylan’s quintessential folk hit, Girl from the North Country made its debut in 2017, performing at The Old Vic before transferring to West End London. The limited jaunt was a huge success, clinching three wins at the Laurence Olivier Awards.
The production then reached an American audience in late 2018 at the Public Theatre, New York. Here, it won a prized Outstanding New Off-Broadway Musical from the Outer Critics Circle Awards. The following year, the show finally performed on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre. Despite the abrupt cancellation due to the coronavirus pandemic, it received seven Tony Award nominations, winning in the Best Orchestrations category.
This 2024, the jukebox musical will arrive at the Sarofim Hall for its new series of shows. The indoor venue guarantees viewers a truly memorable performance thanks to its comfortable seats, stunning backdrop, and state-of-the-art theatrical amenities.
