An unforgettable performance
1 February 2020
One of the best shows I have seen. All the singers were spectacular and the play was very moving. Glad we made the effort to go and see it. Bring a big Bob Dylan fan it was great to hear many of his not so well known songs.

Left half way through

Had high hopes for this one. The singing was great but the lack of storyline especially in the first half meant we left at half time! Can’t speak for the second half maybe it got better!

Absolutely breathtaking, left with a tear in my eye. The use of music doesn't always progress the story as in a traditional musical but it was always used in a powerful and meaningful way.

Musically fantastic but over rated a tad?
31 January 2020
The music is truly fantastic, I should say that first, but I think perhaps I may have spoiled musical theatre for myself by seeing Hamilton! Given the reviews, which were comparable to Hamilton, I had very high hopes for GftNC. However the story doesn't have anywhere near a strong enough narrative. So much of it was unclear, however in the spirit of not leaving spoilers, I won't elaborate. Disappointing is probably my overall feeling.

Best theatre ever

I’d been told this play was good , but it was excellent. The acting and singing was faultless. There was no weak link whatsoever. I loved it so much, I’m going back for a second time!!

great story telling with music
29 January 2020
This was marvellous gritty story telling with the writing of Dylan. Very talented actors/musicians/singers. I spent a great night at good theatre. Some of the singers were excellent. Late booking done so easily. I’m so glad I chose the experience

A wonderful production with an wonderful singers, musicians. If you love Dylan's song this is a must. We saw the original at the Old Vic and this version did not disappoint.

I took my two daughters and their partners as an Xmas present and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The use of songs from Dylan’s extensive catalogue brought the story of 1930s poverty to life. The cast was awesome both in acting terms and in their powerful renditions of classic Dylan songs. I would, without hesitation, watch the show again. Thank you to all involved.

This was the second time we have seen the musical. I have always loved and followed Bob Dylan. So what made it so good was that both well known and not so well known songs were woven together to help tell the story. The musical set in the 1930's perfectly suited both the music and the telling of the story. Different characters speared and interacted, inhabiting characters from Dylan's songs. Masterful reworking of some songs like 'I want you', slowed right down sang as a yearning ballad between two people unable to act on their feelings for each other. Another spine tingling moment among many is when the character with dementia Elizabeth sings the refrain "how does it feel, to be all alone", from Like a rolling stone. The singing, the acting and general story telling was of the highest quality. I cannot recommend this musical enough.

Depressing
24 January 2020
Very dark and depressing story. I would describe it as a play with music rather than a musical, it really wasn't what I was expecting.Difficult initially to understand what was going on, it seemed to be a madhouse and in fact later self identified as a madhouse. Am told the reason for Elizabeth's behaviour came in her song at the end but by then I wasn't really listening. The singing was very good but I could only identify a couple of Dylan's songs, they were so messed about.

No coherence to story. Poorly drawn characters. Worst of all, the singers did not annunciate the lyrics, such an important feature of Dylan songs, and some of them just screamed.

Dylan with much added and nothing taken away
22 January 2020
I have always been a great admirer of Dylan's work - both his words and his songs, which formed the sound track to much of my formation as an adult human being. It was, therefore with some trepidation that I ventured to see a show which 'interpreted' his work as a different entity since I really don't like people 'messing about' with my favourite tunes. But this was fabulous - the book, the direction, the staging, lighting and arrangements and especialy the perfomances added even greater depth to these treasures. The voices and dancing were amazing. Hightly recommended

The cast was very good, the singing and dancing original and varied and the rendering of Dylan's songs totally blended into the play.

Cancelled show with no notice
19 January 2020
Incredibly disappointed to arrive at the theatre on a Saturday evening after a long journey to London to be told at 19:10 that the performance had been cancelled. We understand that these things cannot be helped, however would have very much appreciated even a few hours of notice to make it possible to buy alternative theatre tickets. Overall, very poor customer service.

I saw the original production at The Old Vic and loved it. I dont usually seen the same production twice as that can be a mistake for me, however when I saw this had transferred to the West End I decided to risk it.
The play itself stands up on it's own, of a harrowing portrayal of the 1930's depression in rural USA.The brilliant weaving of many Dylan songs fantastically interrupted by all the cast makes this piece of drama captivating, even the 2nd time around. I loved it over again😊💙👍

Disappointed, I love Bob Dylan’s music, but only a couple of numbers did him justice. Storyline depressing. Several really good singers though, notably the girl who played the Laine daughter.

Repeated excellence
18 January 2020
We saw this show over a year ago and were delighted to be able to attend a revised production. It is a heck of a story told by a clutch of brilliant actors with wonderful singing voices. It is a somewhat painful watch at times but any show that combines humour with sadness has got things going for it. We'd very happily attend again. Congratulations to all involved.

My husband and I thought the show was overall disappointing. It seemed tired, the actors seemed tired and some dialogue/songs were shouty and screechy.. We felt no sympathy/nor any connection with any of the characters. We felt it must have been better at the beginning of the run.

Girl From The North Country
12 January 2020
Great show. As a Dylan fan, it was great to hear different slants to his songs. The girl who played Elizabeth was a superb singer.
Slightly disappointed they didn’t actually sing “Girl From The North Country” although it was on the song list in the programme. The Waterboys cover of said song is one of my favourite tracks and was the reason I was drawn to going to see the show in the first place.
Other than that, it was superb

Forever Young
10 January 2020
We saw the production on its first run 2 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it then and hoped this would be as good, we need not worried as this show was even better. Katie Brayben's performance was so convincing other cast members must have wondered if she was really acting ! I thought the speed in moving from song to dance to dialogue to scene change was perfectly choreographed. Singing and dancing was exciting and excellent , Conor Mcpherson' script and Bob Dylans songs remain Forever Young. If you haven't seen it yet book now you won't regret it.
