Girl From The North Country at Keller Auditorium

Look for the evasive glow at the border of the night with the Girl from the North Country at the Keller Auditorium on Tuesday 18th June 2024! In this on-stage historical fiction, viewers will live through a hundred-fifty minutes of compelling Eugene O’Neill-esque narratives tuned to the songs of the last century's most celebrated songwriter.

Set during the 1934 winter of Duluth, Minnesota, our tale revolves on a rundown boarding house kept by the Laine family. It oversees the criss-crossing fates of its many inhabitants, from the quietly rageful Nick Laine to the morphine-addicted physician Dr. Walker. Sins will unravel, and inner demons made clear. Against the oppressive gloom of an economic crisis, can the light of hope pierce through?

The production is written and directed by Laurence Olivier Award-winning director Conor McPherson. It features a scintillating score from Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bob Dylan with twenty hand-selected tracks, which include classics such as "Slow Train" and "License to Kill."

“The production, based around the songs of Bob Dylan, offers a new take on the jukebox musical... Not the first, but certainly the best, musical featuring the songs of Bob Dylan: It’s as audacious, enlightening, and exasperating as the man himself.” - Rolling Stone

Named after the superstar's iconic folk track, Girl from the North Country debuted in 2017, presenting at The Old Vic before transferring to London's West End. The limited jaunt was a huge success, winning in three Laurence Olivier Award categories.

The production then found its way to the US in 2018 at New York's Public Theatre. Here, it won an esteemed Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Musical. In 2019, the show finally played on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre. Despite the abrupt cancellation because of the coronavirus pandemic, it was nominated seven times at the Tony Awards, winning Best Orchestrations for Hale’s work.

This summer 2024, the jukebox musical will arrive at the Keller Auditorium as a part of its new run of shows. The historic hall guarantees audiences a truly momentous spectacle thanks to its high-end seats, remarkable stage, and top-of-the-line theatrical facilities.
