The musical "Girl From the North Country" opened at the Public Theater in New York this week to rave reviews.

The show uses Bob Dylan's songs to tell the story of the desperate tenants of a boardinghouse in Duluth as they cope with winter during the Great Depression.

"You may find yourself thinking that this is as close as mortals come to heaven on Earth," Ben Brantley wrote in his New York Times review of the musical. "And for just a few, infinitely precious moments, a radiance eclipses the all-devouring night."
