Set in Duluth, Minnesota during the Great Depression, the story revolves on a derelict guesthouse managed by the Laine family. It oversees the intersecting lives of the wayward travelers that come across it, from the lonely, adopted daughter Marianne Laine to the self-styled Reverend Marlowe. Secrets will surface, and inner demons made clear. Amid the unrelenting darkness of a ravaged country, can the rays of hope shine through?
The musical is written and directed by Laurence Olivier Award-winning playwright Conor McPherson. It features an evocative score from Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bob Dylan with twenty specially chosen tracks, including hits such as “Forever Young” and "License to Kill."

“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 iconic folk track, Girl from the North Country debuted in 2017, presenting at The Old Vic theater before moving to London's West End. The week-long stint was a big success, winning in three Laurence Olivier Award categories.
The musical then reached an American audience in late 2018 at the Public Theatre, New York. Here, it won an esteemed Outstanding New Off-Broadway Musical from the Outer Critics Circle Awards. In 2019, the show finally opened on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre. Despite the shortened run due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was nominated seven times at the Tony Awards, winning Best Orchestrations for Hale’s work.
This coming spring, the jukebox musical will arrive at the Bass Concert Hall as a part of its new run of shows. The renowned arena promises crowds a truly memorable spectacle thanks to its high-end seats, remarkable backdrop, and top-of-the-line theatrical amenities.
