Veteran actor Matt McGrath has been added to the cast of the highly anticipated Broadway premiere of Conor McPherson and Bob Dylan's new musical Girl From the North Country.

Sanders, Austin Scott, Jennifer Blood, Law Terrell Dunford, Chiara Trentalange and Bob Walton.

Written and directed by McPherson and featuring the music of Dylan, Girl From the North Country is the story of a down-on-its-luck community on the brink of change in Duluth, Minnesota in 1934. The musical is scheduled to begin previews on February 7 and officially open on March 5 at the Belasco Theatre.
