Girl From North Country
A universal story about family and love, this award-winning Broadway musical features over 20 songs from legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan including Hurricane, Like a Rolling Stone, To Make You Feel My Love and Forever Young, all beautifully reimagined as you’ve never heard them before.
Travel back to 1934 Minnesota, where a group of wanderers cross paths at a guesthouse. Standing at a turning point in their lives, they realise nothing is what it seems, but as they search for a future, and hide from the past, they find themselves facing unspoken truths about the present.
Written and directed by multi award-winner Conor McPherson (The Weir, The Seafarer), and starring stage and screen icon Lisa McCune, Peter Kowitz (Janet King) and Helpmann Award winners Peter Carroll, Helen Dallimore and Greg Stone.
Hailed “A TRIUMPH!” (Washington Post), this uplifting story of American life promises to be the theatrical event of 2022.
Feedback/Comments
When it reached its potential it was magnificent but some of the songs were a little pedestrian.
Great music and cast

Great show
A little bleak but well acted and executed.
Was not as good as we had expected
Great music.
Pleased I could attend at a cheaper rate
Well worth seeing
We really enjoyed the show and the collection of Dylan songs skillfully woven throughout, and beautifully performed by the cast. Thoughtful, insightful social themes still very relevant today, plenty to reflect on.
Great voices and lovely staging of this gentle show. We enjoyed the performance of all cast members.
An insightful story and brilliantly portrayed by all the actors. Lisa McCune was amazing.
Loved the show. Wonderful talent and great music.
Beautiful score!
Outstanding acting and singing. I particularly liked the way set designs were projected onto the background. Great music from Bob Dylan. The story set in 1934 Minnesota was great but very dark.
Wow, could these guys sing!
The acting and singing were great, delivered clearly, and with conviction, by well cast performers.
The show dealt with difficult subjects with humour, energy and feeling.
The set and lighting framed the scenes beautifully, with no distractions.
I was entertained whilst gaining an insight into the the lives of people living in an era I had a limited knowledge of.
Amazing talented performers, however I felt as though the story was lacking.
The show portrayed how hard life was post the Depression in small town USA. Though not an uplifting show you were entertained by an exceptional cast whose acting was engaging and whose voices sang the variety of songs including Bob Dylan's from the heart and with gusto. The singing standard was world class and this was a significant highlight of the show. Lisa McCune was exceptional in her role as Elizabeth and her co-star who played Nick was excellent too. Their was some humour too and difficult issues like pregnant single black mothers to be and mental and physical disabilities were aired as part of the story line. The cast were energetic and certainly played their roles well. It is not an upbeat show but the combination of a difficult story to tell and the wonderful arrangements of the songs and the music made it worthwhile to see. There was humour and laughter and love intertwined with despair and moments of joyful distraction from the challenging storyline. If any thing you were left in awe of the versatility of the cast in all the roles they played both musically and dramatically. It did not have a happy ending but you were left knowing that though it has been difficult during Covid for all of us in comparison to those living in the post depression era, life now is not too bad. It was so heart warming a number of older actors in the cast who did a to see a brilliant job Go and see it for the incredible cast and acting.
It took a while to warm to this show, but in the end I loved it. Lisa McCune, in particular, was a standout performance.
Slow first half, dynamic second half
Music and singers' harmonies were enjoyable but play was very disjointed. Lacked flow for me. Must admit not at all what I expected but didn't find it 'engaging'.
Absolutely amazing, loved the show, would highly recommend it
Wonderful night out with great talented performers.We loved the show.
Lisa McCune was outstanding in her lead role!!! Loved the music and very creative set design and choreography.
I was expecting something more uplifting. Nevertheless, beautiful singing and acting. Lots of discussion points to take away.
Evocative staging, great cast and musicians. True star of the show is the singing. Heartfelt renditions of Dylan's poetic lyrics from beautiful voices. Fantastic finale. Highly recommended.
A really incredible show, brilliant singing and story telling. Thankyou. T.
Very interesting story, music and cast were fantastic.. Lisa McCune was Amazing!
We enjoyed it very much! Definitely recommend to watch <3
What a surprising show. I hadn’t heard too much about the show and was enthralled by the amazing cast and their harmonies. It took me until half time to work out it was Lisa McCune as one of the leads - so talented. Great show..loved it.
Great music sad but interesting story
Loved it and Bob Dylan Music was fantastic
Great show, really enjoyed the sub stories and insights into the characters
My friend and I loved this production! The music, all by Bob Dylan, was fantastic. All the singers, not only the well known performers, were fabulous. The harmonies and the musicians were amazing. All in all one of the best things I e seen in ages! I can’t recommend this show highly enough. Get tickets now!
What a great show with a strong cast.
What a fantastic show with a great cast. Get along and see it
Great to get back to live acting complimented by music and songs that I could understand. We left the theatre discussing social issues that still plague us now that happened back in the 30-40’s.
A moving story beautifully told through Bob Dylan's songs.
Mg omg omg Lisa McCune was fantastic!!!
Absolutely wonderful!!!
