Girl From the North Country is a triumph - Washington Post
Congratulations to
Luba Mason
and the entire cast of
now playing at The Public Theater. The musical by Conor McPherson and Bob Dylan has received sterling reviews.
“With a uniformly excellent American cast that wears its roles like confining and prickly skins .... And how they sing, every one of them. Moments I seem destined to recall forever include Ms. Winningham delivering “Like a Rolling Stone” as a curse and “Forever Young” as an elegy; Mr. Harcourt leading “Hurricane” like a rampant force of nature; and
Ms. Mason (who doubles as a drummer) singing “Is Your Love in Vain?” with the wounded cynicism of a seen-it-all barroom chanteuse
." Ben Brantley,
"That duality resonates even stronger when the
fabulous
Mason
lets loose her big gutsy voice while accompanying herself on drums..." David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
"Just wait for
Mason
's drumming." Tim Teeman, The Daily Beast
"a triumph" Peter Marks, The Washington Post
