The best thing I have seen live EVER, by a country mile
This was my first visit to a theatre performance. I wasn't expecting it to be so moving, had tears in my eyes at the end; the entire cast was amazing, talented singers / actors / musicians all, though Shirley Henderson in particular was outstanding.
I saw this show the other night and brilliant can't describe it. It was awesome with superb performances by all the cast.
Put simply - Magnificent!! Shirley Henderson is Amazing! The songs and the story weave together to create a magical telling.
Gives me goosebumps every to time I listen and each time I've seen this live. Wow!
You have really bad taste in musicals
@Chris and you're an idiot. I'm guessing you still are, two years after that comment.
Our soundtrack arrived!!! Loved this show!!!! Not to be missed 😊
Have seen it twice. Going again soon. Wonderful production
Best show in the West End for many years. Amazing cast. Outstanding!
Best show I ever saw.
I saw this show, blow my mind! I am going again this year with a new cast in December !
Which part blew your mind most? The boring dialogue or the awful blending of songs?
A fantastic show and so interesting to hear the amazing versions of the songs. Brilliant.
Beautiful amazing show best ever
Just seen it at York September
2020 its first time on tour WOW amazing
Omg!! Saw this on the penultimate night with my two daughters , 22 and 17. A few weeks earlier we saw Dreamgirls which was fab! However! What an amazing show, each and everyone of them can sing! It was, breathtakingly amazing, so emotional, Dylan’s versions of songs better than his own. My girls verdict? They absolutely lovedDreamgirls but Girls from the North won hands down!
Agree with your girls. GFTNC was an incredible production. Its like may never be seen again.
Is there a DVD of this? I would love to watch it over and over, i was really amazed by it when i saw it in London, i listen to the soundtrack all the time
Woww!!! Magnificent!!!! Made my morning so beautiful!!! Thank you so much. Life is beautiful! 🌬️🎶🕵️🌟🌎💫🌼🏝️🌎🌈
Fantastic news, look forward to seeing it again, best theatre experience ever.
I feel sad for you
this makes me so happy!!
Julius Caesar returns from HBO's "Rome" to 1930s Minnesota.
Omggghh!!! Must see
Sheila Atim reminds me of Judy garland when she's singing in the background for some reason
Saw it
Liked it (:
This looks really good
0:57 oh gosh she is gorgeus
Deservedly so !!!!!!!
Ohh I need to see this… am I too late ?
so i guess i got to go to England then. In the meantime, it'll have to settle for those two secs of Sam Reid tapping.
Has anyone any idea if it's going to extend its run, cannot get to London until July.... So need to see this!
No, not at the same theatre at least. I asked when I saw it the other day.
How age appropriate is this musical? Would anybody know if this is a good family show?
It’s a very good show, but It’s not meant for kids. There’s a lot of dark stuff in there, such as an attempted murder, implied drowning, Dementia, racial tensions, and it’s very dark and bleak at times (it’s funny too, but overall, it’s rather dark). So don’t take your kids there if they aren’t old or mature enough to handle it. Late tweens or teens I could see being there. Matilda this is not.
Katie Brayben was amazing in the West End production at the Gielgud. She was the best thing about a show that just doesn't work for me. I was so bored. Some other singers were awesome too.
To anyone who's seen it, please tell me how Hurricane sits in the show when it's set in Duluth in 1936. Hurricane, specifically about Ruben Carter, born one year after this show is set! That alone puts me off seeing it. Just makes me think of it as a Dylan's Greatest Hits on stage rather than a story with songs picked specifically for it. Having songs written in the 60s, 70s, even if there were any in there written now I don't have a problem with, so long as they're generic and not about one specific person or event.
I don't get how that one song should be putting you off the see it. I agree, it makes you wonder, but that only makes me want to see it more especially when you see the reviews..There must be something really good about this I suppose. Apart from West Side Story I don't like musicals at all. This, I'd like to see though..By luck I stumbled upon the video of Tight connection to my heart yesterday evenin' and it blew me off my seat, I didn't know about this production, but now I do and I only wish I get the chance to see it.
It puts me off thinking that song has no place and it's been shoehorned in there just because it's one of his greatest hits. A show with no plot and just Dylan's Greatest Hits on stage would just be tacky. I'll be sat there listening to them singing about Ruben Carter, Alfred Bello, Arthur Dexter Bradley et al, all the while it's set 30 years before any of it happened. Cringeworthy just thinking about it. Tight Connection and the rest are generic, not date or person-specific, could be written about anyone in any period of time. That's why I was asking, if anyone has seen it, tell me if it actually has a place and a purpose to the story and hasn't just awkwardly been thrown in there.
Again: I get that, but if the reviews are that great don't you think they must've found a way to implement the song into the storyline without making it look/sound out of place?..I'm curious too as to how this can work in this show, but obviously for many it did so..worth checking it out I think
The music doesn't inform the narrative
Actually this is the one song in the play (I've heard it's more like a play with music as opposed to a musical) that is even close to being a hit. Most of them are his least known songs. Variety magazine says "the songs serve the show, not visa versa."
Not all songs are sung in full; many of them are just snippets. Perhaps Hurricane is more about anyone in prison unjustly and not specifically Ruben Carter. Since I live in the U.S. and it is playing in London I'll have to wait and see.
I walked out of this at intermission. So bad. Too much boring dialogue and the songs didn’t fit at all. Anyone raving about this must not see musicals often. Go see Jagged Little Pill or Six.
We all have different tastes. I loved it and I see loads of musicals. I hated Six! If we all had the same taste the world would be a very dull place.
The blasphemy was awful, and often repeated, why do people think that it will go unpunished? For they don't fear God even if they believe in Him.
