Girl From The North Country at CIBC Theatre

In the winter of 1934, the American Financial Crisis has not yet been addressed and its effects are most pronounced in a tumbledown board-house in Duluth, Minnesota. Nick Laine fights to keep the building from being foreclosed by the bank while his wife Elizabeth continues to battles with dementia but now and then shows signs of mental alertness. He's been having an affair with one of the tenants, Mrs. Neilsen, but is she really what he desires? Nick and Elizabeth's children aren't without their own share of hardships. Marianne is five months pregnant and is single while Gene has an alcohol addiction and no goals in life.

Both vacationers and odd locals of the town have their own secret histories and stories to tell. Their murky pasts, which include incarceration, blackmail, and morphine addiction, are eventually revealed to a backdrop of Bob Dylan's vivid music. The incredible amount of positive reviews this one has received should serve as assurance that even the most astute viewers will be fascinated by the show's fantastic plot. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness something spectacular at the CIBC Theatre in Chicago, Illinois.
