A spokesperson says---

"...The musical, written by Conor McPherson, uses reimagined songs by Bob Dylan to create a...story of resilience in uncertain times...Girl from the North Country brings together a cast of 13 actor-musicians who also serve as the show’s orchestra...

In a run-down boarding house in Duluth, Minnesota, strangers cross paths – experiencing love, loss, and everything in between. Amongst the dust and deep in the throes of the Great Depression, these wayward travelers fill the guesthouse with music, hope, and soul. Featuring Bob Dylan’s...songs, including “Forever Young,” “Hurricane,” and “Like a Rolling Stone,” Girl from the North Country pairs his music with...orchestrations by Simon Hale to tell a...story of resilience in uncertain times.

The actor-musician approach, cast members playing piano, guitar, banjo, mandolin, and harmonica...music is made live by the performers...Girl from the North Country uses its songs differently: rather than driving the plot forward, Dylan's music opens a window into the characters' inner lives, giving voice to the longing and resilience beneath the story's surface..."
