The Tony Award winning musical, Girl from the North Country, has been recognized as a “Broadway Revolution!” (Chicago Tribune). It centers on a band of travelers in 1934, in Duluth, Minnesota, and their journeys of self exploration. Watch Connor Mcpherson’s script come to life, and Simon Hale’s orchestra reimagine more than 20 of Bob Marley’s classic songs. “Forever Young,” “All Along The Watchtower,” “Hurricane,” “Slow Train Coming,” and “Like A Rolling Stone” have never been heard like this!
