Great singing

See it if Mare Winningham & others- great. Songs often creative & beautiful, good singers, but too many in SAME mushy style, no bite, frustrating!

Don't see it if Didn't even sing most of Girl From the North Country! Unrealized potential. Challenging to create story from these songs!

Great singing, Great staging, Resonant

See it if You’re into seeing a concert during the Great Depression. Not much of a book but the singing,staging & lighting all create a haunting mood.

Don't see it if You are expecting a traditional musical where you get to clap after each song. Or you want to sing along to Dylan tunes.

Great singing, Great staging, Ambitious, Absorbing

See it if you like Bob Dylan's music, great acting/singing/staging, and story that tackles social issues. Fortunately this is not a jukebox musical.

Don't see it if you're expecting an upbeat jukebox musical or revue. The songs are reinterpreted to fit a dramatic storyline. Read more

Dark, Beautiful, Actor/musician, Jukebox, Great singing

See it if You want to see a cross between Once, Spring Awakening, and the darkest episode of Prairie Home Companions News From lake Wobegon EVER.

Don't see it if You dislike Bob Dylan's lyrics. The orchestrations are lightyears away from Dylan's own but the lyrics are intact. Read more

Disappointing, Great singing, Slow

See it if you like: Bob Dylan's music & a great ensemble cast singing Dylan's music; a musical where the music tells the backstory of the characters.

Don't see it if you don't like: Dylan's music; a slow melancholy-almost depressing musical; a large ensemble cast Read more
