"...When you see Conor McPherson's Girl from the North Country (and you must!), here's a bit of advice. Leave all your preconceived notions about how a musical should be structured in the capacious lobby of the Kennedy Center and enter the Eisenhower Theater with fresh eyes and ears. You'll be rewarded with a remarkable performance that combines acclaimed Irish playwright McPherson's gifted storytelling with the piercing brilliance of Bob Dylan's eternal songbook."

"...Girl from the North Country, a richly imagined melding of Bob Dylan's songs with an original story written and directed by Conor McPherson, is a rarified taste. Not all audiences will appreciate what's transpiring onstage at the Kennedy Center's Eisenhower Theatre in Washington, where the touring production is in residence through December 31, but those looking for a unique form of musical storytelling will appreciate it."

"...Inspiration comes in dreams. Or maybe the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind. Be it fever dream or disjointed wind that blows you into The Kennedy Center this December holiday season, you're in for something a bit unusual when it comes to the National Touring production of Girl From the North Country. Now playing in The Eisenhower Theatre through new year's eve, this 'jukebox musical' (and I use that term very, very loosely) featuring selections from the Bob Dylan song catalogue, is somewhat of curious, albeit haphazard, musical accident. Written and Directed by Conor McPherson, with the music and lyrics of the aforementioned Bob Dylan, Girl From the North Country is- well, an experience. It's difficult to describe beyond that because it deviates from so many musical theatre archetypes and formats that you're left wondering what exactly it was you just saw, though not without a deep appreciation for the superb talent that was singing and performing it.:
