Girl from the North Country (Touring) Tickets

Girl From the North Country is not a comedy or jukebox musical, but rather a complex and deeply satisfying play with songs. Each and every cast member sings gloriously and is an accomplished actor. The storyline at first blush is a bit overwhelming due to the sheer size of the large ensemble cast, but part of the fun challenge for me was understanding the way their lives intertwine in a depression era boarding house. At the end of the day, this is a show that will best resonate with a sophisticated theater goer who enjoys stories about life struggles set against the backdrop of Bob Dylan’s timeless poetry.

The music and cast were wonderful. The story line? To me, so boring that we left at intermission.

The music in this play, of course, was really wonderful. The use of the Dylan songs to tell the story was amazing. The acting was very good and the singing was extraordinary. But the book was only OK. It definitely was not what I expected. Much darker.

I thoroughly enjoyed the play. The cast was superb.

We left at intermission. Sound wasn’t great. Show was boring, characters didn’t seem connected. Depressing. Others who left when we did couldn’t even identify the Dylan music.

The Girl from the North Country was much different than expected. It's a musical but not like any other. First and foremost, the TALENT was superb. Their voices were amazing. No complaints there. However, the story was dark and confusing and since I am not a huge fan of Dylan (just never followed his music...a bit before my time) I didn't understand the meaning of the songs where they were placed in the production and sadly, the only songs I recognized was Rolling Stone and Hurricane. I feel this was confusing labeling it as a musical. I feel it was more of a drama (play) with some songs thrown in. I understand that is not the intention but it was how I felt about it. The MOTHER was amazing. as was the entire cast.

A little hard to follow and depressing. Beautiful singing! Still a great date night.

I remember attending many events at the Sam Houston Colosseum and Music Hall in the past. The actors in the play did a very good job and the singing was even better. Most of the cast did solos and all of the songs were really good. I will go back again.

I wasn't sure what to expect but the show and characters were interesting and engaging. I loved the staging/choreography and the beautiful arrangements of such wonderful music. BRAVO!

Well…this was interesting. I estimate that less than 40% of the audience returned after intermission. The couple in front of me made it past 2 scenes. #enoughsaid P.S. - Vocals are fantastic. It’s sad, because the performers deserve to be cast in a much stronger musical…that actually has a storyline that remotely matches the music. Actors = 9/10 Script Writer….. 👀
