SYNOPSIS

It’s 1934 in Duluth, Minnesota and a group of restless travelers find respite from the Great Depression in a modest boarding house— a place where love and loss intertwine, and where music, resilience and hope breathe life into their weary spirits. Connor McPherson daringly transforms the cherished songs of Bob Dylan, weaving them into a tale as breathtaking as the tunes that underscore it.
THE WHY

“When I first saw this on Broadway, I couldn’t believe how beautiful it was, so I went back a second time and loved it even more. The Tony-winning orchestrations of Bob Dylan’s songs lift them into a place of transcendent beauty.” – Freddie
