Girl From The North Country at Pantages Theatre

Set amidst the harsh winter of 1934 in Duluth, Minnesota, during the throes of the Great Depression, "Girl From The North Country" unfurls within the dilapidated confines of Nick Laine's guesthouse. Guided by the narrative voice of Dr. Walker, the tale intricately intertwines the trials of the Laine family amid the backdrop of economic turmoil. Elizabeth, Nick's wife, battles dementia, while their offspring, Gene and their adopted daughter Marianne, confront their own inner demons. Marianne, especially, finds herself embroiled in mystery, carrying the secret of her five-month pregnancy with an undisclosed father.



The guesthouse emerges as a nexus for a myriad of characters, each bearing their own burdens and stories. From a widow awaiting her inheritance to a family grappling with the aftermath of financial collapse, and newcomers like a charismatic preacher and a down-and-out pugilist, their encounters weave a rich tapestry of human existence, resonating with the timeless themes prevalent in Bob Dylan's musical oeuvre.

Featuring 19 of Dylan's poignant compositions, each adorned with a musical arrangement reminiscent of the 1930s era, the production showcases classics such as "Like a Rolling Stone," "Forever Young," and "Hurricane," offering a harmonious blend of nostalgia and innovation for aficionados of Dylan's music and enthusiasts of the stage alike.

"Girl From The North Country" stands as a testament to the artistic prowess of Conor McPherson, harmonizing seamlessly with the enduring melodies of Bob Dylan. Its stint at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood beckons theater aficionados to partake in an unmissable fusion of music, drama, and historical narrative. This production promises an immersive theatrical experience that not only entertains but also delves into the profound depths of human emotion amidst adversity.
