Girl From The North Country at Hollywood Pantages Theatre

Search for the evasive glimmer at the edge of the night with the Girl from the North Country at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre on Friday 31st May 2024! In this fictional history, crowds will go through 150 minutes of engrossing character-driven chronicles tuned to the songs of the 20th century's most revered singer.

Set during the 1934 winter of Duluth, Minnesota, our tale centers on a derelict boarding house owned by the Laine family. It follows the intertwining fates of the lost souls that take shelter there, from the lonely, adopted daughter Marianne Laine to the morphine-addicted physician Dr. Walker. Sins will spill, and inner demons will wake. Against the cruel darkness of a ravaged country, can the light of hope break through?

The musical employs the book and direction by Tony Award-nominated playwright Conor McPherson. It exhibits a scintillating score from ten-time Grammy Award winner Bob Dylan with twenty specially chosen tracks, including hits such as “Forever Young” and "License to Kill."

“Yet while this singular production evokes the Great Depression with uncompromising bleakness, it is ultimately the opposite of depressing. That’s because McPherson hears America singing in the dark. And those voices light up the night with the radiance of divine grace.” - New York Times

Titled after the superstar's iconic folk hit, Girl from the North Country premiered in 2017, opening at The Old Vic theater before transferring to London's West End. The limited run was a huge success, stealing three wins from the Laurence Olivier Awards.

The production then reached an American audience at the Public Theatre, New York, in late 2018. Here, it won an esteemed Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Musical. The following year, the show finally performed on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre. Despite the abrupt cancellation due to the global pandemic, it was nominated seven times at the Tony Awards, earning a Best Orchestrations win.

This spring 2024, the jukebox musical will arrive at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre as a part of its new run of shows. The historic arena promises viewers a truly memorable experience thanks to its spacious seats, gorgeous backdrop, and cutting-edge theatrical amenities.
