Set in 1934, in Dylan\u2019s hometown of Duluth, Minnesota, the story revolves around the Laine family and their struggles after the Great Depression. Nick Laine, while trying to keep his family from being homeless, also has to deal with an alcoholic son, a wife suffering from dementia and a pregnant daughter who refuses to reveal the identity of her baby\u2019s father. The situation goes further out of control when one stormy night, a bible salesman, a boxer and a couple seek shelter at the Laine guesthouse.<\/p>\n<p>The Girl from the North Country features a talented cast, including Tony Award nominees Marc Kudisch and David Pittu, and Emmy and Oscar-winning actress Mare Winningham. The play is directed by celebrated playwright Conor McPherson, who has won an Olivier Award for this show. This Broadway musical is set to open on 5 March 2020, with previews beginning on 7 Feb.<\/p>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/tour\/21488\/TOUR-IMAGE\/cbb2fe58-9d90-47e9-8fa2-bc03cd778d4b-11336-new-york-girl-from-the-north-country-03.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=webp&amp;w=1200&amp;h=750&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" alt=\"Girl from the North Country Broadway Reviews\" width=\"630\" height=\"394\" style=\"width: 768px;\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"222767835\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/tour\/21488\/TOUR-IMAGE\/cbb2fe58-9d90-47e9-8fa2-bc03cd778d4b-11336-new-york-girl-from-the-north-country-03.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=webp&amp;w=1200&amp;h=750&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2> Girl from the North Country Musical Broadway Reviews | What The Critics Think<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThis revival, again directed by McPherson, is strong on song, uneven on character. It\u2019s surprisingly talky, but still deeply affecting.\u201d  &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.standard.co.uk\/go\/london\/theatre\/girl-from-the-north-country-review-gielgud-theatre-a4315366.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Standard<\/a> on the 2019 London Theater performance.   \u201cIf you\u2019re a hard-core Dylan fan, you\u2019ve heard these songs before. But, for me at least, they\u2019ve never sounded quite so heartbreakingly personal and universal at the same time.\u201d &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/10\/01\/theater\/girl-from-the-north-country-review-bob-dylan.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The NY Times<\/a> on the 2018 Off-Broadway performance.\u201cMcPherson cleverly chooses tunes from Dylan&#8217;s back catalog that ensure it&#8217;s not just a &#8216;greatest hits&#8217; jukebox show, and his book allows the numbers and story to have a conversation with each other. Selecting songs spanning from 1963 to 2012, the music is played with only 1930s instruments, acting as close-ups on each character&#8217;s state of being.\u201d  &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatsonstage.com\/london-theatre\/reviews\/girl-from-the-north-country-gielgud_50587.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What\u2019s On Stage<\/a> on the 2019 London Theater performance.\u201cThere\u2019s a striking symbiosis between the stories and Dylan&#8217;s songs.

The show lays bare the bleak future of an average middle-class American family against the fantastic backdrop of Bob Dylan\u2019s music. Some classic tracks include \u2018Sign On The Window\u2019, \u2018You Ain&#8217;t Goin&#8217; Nowhere\u2019, \u2018Make You Feel My Love\u2019, \u2018Tempest, and more. Set in the 1930s, this play is ahead of its time in exploring issues of poverty, racism and mental illness, which are prevalent even in this day and age.<\/p>\n<h3> Recommended For<\/h3>\n<p>Fans of Bob Dylan | History Buffs<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/book\/11336?_ga=2.27845244.1383257124.1580737400-449805226.1574240938\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Check Real-Time Seat Availability &amp; Prices Book Now <\/a><\/p>\n<h2> About Belasco Theater<\/h2>\n<p>The Belasco Theater has a total seating capacity of 1016.
