GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY National Tour is Coming to the Forrest Theatre in February

The Kimmel Cultural Campus and The Shubert Organization are proud to present the Philadelphia premiere engagement of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Girl From the North Country, at the Forrest Theatre from February 27 to March 10, 2024. Written and directed by celebrated playwright Conor McPherson and featuring Tony Award-winning orchestrations by Simon Hale, Girl From the North Country reimagines 20 legendary songs of Bob Dylan as they've never been heard before, including "Forever Young," "All Along The Watchtower," "Hurricane," "Slow Train Coming," and "Like A Rolling Stone." Tickets are now on sale in-person at the Forrest Theatre box office (1114 Walnut Street, Philadelphia) or online at www.telecharge.com and select "Philadelphia area" for purchase.

"Bob Dylan's music has endured for decades, preserving him as a titan of folk music," said Matías Tarnopolsky, president and CEO of The Philadelphia Orchestra and Kimmel Center. "Presented for the first time in Philadelphia, this new Broadway hit takes Dylan's music back to his native Minnesota, weaving together a poignant story alongside his beautiful lyrics."

It's 1934 in Duluth, Minnesota. We meet a group of wayward travelers whose lives intersect in a guesthouse filled with music, life, and hope. Experience this 'profoundly beautiful' production (The New York Times) brought to vivid life by an extraordinary company of actors and musicians.
