Girl From The North Country
Golden Gate Theatre

Billed as a 'play with songs' rather than a musical, Connor McPherson's meditative hit winds the songs of Bob Dylan around the comings and goings of a Depression Era guest house. Somber and yet full of hope, this is Dylan as you've never heard him. We called it: "an utterly gorgeous and heartrending experience at the theatre."
