Bob Dylan’s timeless songs meet Great Depression drama in Girl from the North Country—an Olivier- and Tony-winning hit back at The Old Vic for 9 weeks only.

    • A soul-stirring musical blending Bob Dylan’s iconic hits with Conor McPherson’s (Olivier award-winner) haunting tale set in 1930s America—this isn’t just a jukebox musical, it’s a genre-defying masterpiece.
    • With Tony and Olivier Awards under its belt, this global hit returns to The Old Vic after acclaimed runs in London, Broadway, and beyond.
    • Themes of hope, survival, and longing take center stage with a 23-member cast and live band.
    • Only at The Old Vic Theatre for a strictly limited 9-week run, critics call it “piercingly beautiful”—book your tickets to the Girl from the North Country in London for a night of raw emotion and classic songs.

    The story

    Duluth, Minnesota. 1934. As the Great Depression grips the nation, a rundown guesthouse becomes a crossroads for drifting souls—each with secrets, scars, and songs. Love simmers, debts loom, and dreams teeter on the edge as the residents confront life’s harsh truths. Book your tickets to the Girl from the North Country in London and witness a story where fate and music collide, but who makes it out when hope wears thin?
