"The Girl From The North Country" at The Public Theater features Bob Dylan music that is beautifully sung, orchestrated and staged, but which are at odds with the unfortunate book scenes by Conor McPherson that are cliche ridden, wooden and flat. There are essentially two independent shows here that are at war with one another. The play soars during its musical numbers, but the moment they stop, the energy of the show is sapped by the pedestrian play that often bears little or no connection to the Dylan songs. However, the musical scenes alone may be worth the price of admission to this one.
