Girl from the North Country Tickets

It has been announced that Girl from the North Country will be coming to Delfont Mackintosh theatres’ Gielgud Theatre for a limited season before its transfer to Broadway. The show will return to the West End from 10 December 2019 to 1 February 2020 between runs at the Royal Alexandria Theatre, Toronto and New York’s Belasco Theater. Tickets for Girl from the North Country will be on sale Monday, 24 June.

Bob Dylan musical Girl From The North Country is set to transfer to New York's Belasco Theater in February 2020, it has been confirmed. The Broadway transfer comes after an acclaimed Off-Broadway run at the Public Theater in New York (2018) and after two highly successful runs in London, including the world premiere at The Old Vic Theatre (2017) and a highly lauded run at the West End's Noel Coward Theatre (2017-2018). The original London production was nominated for five Olivier Awards and won two, including Best Actress in a Musical for Shirley Henderson and Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical for Sheila Atim, which is enough to make even the legendary John Gielgud proud. Many London theatre fans felt the award-winning musical ended too prematurely and a Girl From The North Country revival remains on many West End Wish Lists.

Girl From the North Country is the relentlessly melancholy story of a group of people living in America in the 1930s. The production (which feels like more of a play with music than a musical per se), is atmospheric and intimate, but ultimately misses the mark.

There is always something exciting about the West End in the beginning of the year. With Christmas over and done with and there is a treat for all the lovers coming up very soon, something is needed to bridge the gap in theatreland. In situ for a spell at the delightful Noel Coward Theatre, Girl from the North Country is receiving rave reviews and leaving theatre-goers spellbound.

Girl from the North Country, a cleverly crafted musical, presents us with multi-layered interrelated stories about the lives of people renting rooms in a boarding house in 1934 Minnesota. Writer-Director Conor McPherson’s intelligently written script encompasses at least 10 life-changing issues in the lives of the guests living and passing through the boarding house including: Jim Crow racism, The Great Depression, Mental illness including depression, Child abuse, Living with and caring for someone with Alzheimer’s, Adultery, Childhood Trauma, Teen Pregnancy, alcohol and drug misuse and addiction, and parent-carers of an adult child with severe learning disabilities.

I’m sure that you’ve been hearing murmurs about the world premiere of Girl from the North Country, the engaging new piece from esteemed playwright Conor McPherson featuring classic songs from Bob Dylan, but what is it all about?
