Fri, May 23 9:00 P.M. NHPBS (11.1)  

Written and directed by acclaimed playwright Conor McPherson, Girl From the North Country reimagines 20 legendary songs by Bob Dylan as they've never been heard before. This spiritually uplifting story is set in Duluth, Minnesota, in 1934, when a group of wanderers' lives intersect at a house full of music, life and hope. Originally opening on Broadway to rave reviews on March 5, 2020, the production was forced to close just one week later, along with all other Broadway shows, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Re-opening on Broadway nineteen months later in October 2021, the show was recorded on Broadway with its original cast in April 2022. Nominated for seven 2022 Tony Awards including Best New Musical, among the classic Dylan songs woven into the narrative are "Forever Young," "All Along The Watchtower," "Hurricane," "Slow Train Coming" and "Like a Rolling Stone."
