Girl From The North Country

See it if It's original and worth seeing. I wanted to like it more than I did. I think I was expecting more. It's a sad and depressing play and lea

Don't see it if you need songs to reflect the exact experience of the characters who are singing them. The poetic license ultimately pays off hauntingly.

Also I'll admit the show seems choppy at times, but the book, music, performances, staging and set come together to create an emotionally overwhelming piece. I have not felt this moved at the theatre in a long time.... Read more Read less

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!

See it if You enjoy seeing something new. This is a beautiful show. Bob Dylan’s music arranged masterfully to a story set in Depression era

Don't see it if You like sugary musicals or theater based on movies. Otherwise, I think everyone should see this piece!

See it if Beautiful treatment of Bob Dylan's work -- some of the earlier, more obscure songs. Great acting. Absorbing story of the depression.

Don't see it if You only want to hear Dylan work as he, or well known covers, perform it. You want fast moving action. This is a quiet play.

See it if You love Dylan's music & won't mind a weak and in certain ways cliched plot. The playwright is Irish & misrepresents America's racial past.

Don't see it if You are looking for a great play that showcases Dylan's songs. The music is stellar, the play less so.

See it if you want an interesting play and use of Bob Dylan's music. Although the writing was somewhat cliched, it really takes off with the music

See it if you are familiar with Bob Dylan music, you’re looking for a cross between a play and a musical

Don't see it if you want lighter fare that’s energetic and happy, you don’t enjoy bleak Depression-era stories, you prefer intricate story lines

Also I’m admittedly unfamiliar with most of Bob Dylan’s catalogue of work so may have missed some of the connections between the lyrics and dialogue. But this was most definitely a play punctuated by music as opposed to a musical. The undercurrent of despair of the characters is palpable, as is the ripple effects of mental illness and alcoholism. There were some beautiful musical moments, the ones that stood out to me were Sydney James Harcourt (from Hamilton), Colton Ryan (from Dear Evan Hansen), Caitlin Houlahan (from Waitress), and Mare Winningham.... Read more Read less

See it if you love the plays of Conor McPherson and Bob Dylan’s songs, and are interested in seeing two disparate artistic visions working together.

Don't see it if you are only interested in mindless musicals.

See it if The music and singing were beautiful and astonishing. The arrangements were lovely and when they were singing the show was wonderful.

Don't see it if But the play seemed jammed in and didn’t coalesce into one thing. The stories were melodramatic and some of the acting was with a capital A.

See it if You like seeing shows that are outside the box. Very slow but absorbing.

Don't see it if You were looking to see a traditional musical

See it if You like Dylan and want to see a new and creative take on his music brilliantly interpreted by a (mostly) younger generation.

Don't see it if You don't like Bob Dylan, you enjoy upbeat, conventional musicals,

See it if You like beautiful staging and singing. You like dylan's songs. Decent story weaved into it.

Don't see it if You want amazing acting, or a fast paced story that will keep you on the edge. It is just good enough that you won't hate it.

See it if You like shows in the vein of Once and The Band’s Visit. However know those two are far superior to this production.

Don't see it if You value dramaturgical consistency and have a good grasp on common sense. Most of this show is nonsense.

Also This show seems to be trying very hard to be deep and meaningful when really it’s a string of random half-thoughts and concepts that would be really interesting if fleshed out. However they beg the question at the end; “Do we really care for any of these people?” And personally I’ve never felt more emotionally disconnected, disappointed, and bored to tears in a theatre than with this show. A bit of a snooze, this one, like Band’s Visit if it were missing the charm of Dina. Go see Band’s Visit instead.... Read more Read less
