CHICAGO (WLS) -- Bob Dylan fans know "Girl from the North Country" as one of the folk singer's songs; now, it's the title of a Tony Award-winning musical that re-imagines nearly two dozen of Dylan's greatest hits.

The musical, set in 1934, weaves Dylan's music into the story of a group of wayward travelers whose lives intersect in a guesthouse in Duluth, Minnesota.

It's playing at the CIBC Theatre through Feb. 25.

Two of the stars joined ABC7 Chicago Wednesday to talk about the show.
