In this on-stage historical fiction, viewers will go through 2 ½ hours of compelling Eugene O’Neill-esque narratives backed with the music of the 20th century's most revered songwriter.
Set during the 1934 winter of Duluth, Minnesota, our tale centers around a derelict boarding house managed by the Laine family. It follows the intersecting lives of its many inhabitants, from the dementia-stricken Elizabeth Laine to the luckless boxer Joe Scott. Sins will surface, and inner demons will make themselves known. Amidst the unrelenting shadow of a ravaged country, can the light of hope pierce through?
The production is written and directed by Tony Award-nominated playwright Conor McPherson. It exhibits an evocative score from Nobel Prize-winning legend Bob Dylan with twenty hand-selected songs, including classics such as “Forever Young” and "Sign on the Window."

“Yet while this singular production evokes the Great Depression with uncompromising bleakness, it is ultimately the opposite of depressing. That’s because McPherson hears America singing in the dark. And those voices light up the night with the radiance of divine grace.” - New York Times
Named after the singer-songwriter's iconic folk hit, Girl from the North Country debuted in 2017, performing at The Old Vic theater before transferring to London's West End. The limited-week jaunt was a huge success, stealing three wins from the Laurence Olivier Awards.
The production then found its way to the US in 2018 at New York's Public Theatre. Here, it won a prized Outstanding New Off-Broadway Musical from the Outer Critics Circle Awards. The next year, the show finally played on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre. Despite its run cut short because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it received seven Tony Award nominations, winning in the Best Orchestrations category.
This 2024, the jukebox musical will stop by the Bass Concert Hall for its latest string of shows. The renowned venue offers viewers a truly memorable experience thanks to its spacious seats, gorgeous stage, and state-of-the-art theatrical utilities.
