Illinoise
MUSIC & LYRICS BY SUFJAN STEVENS (BASED ON THE ALBUM ILLINOIS)
STORY BY JUSTIN PECK AND JACKIE SIBBLIES DRURY
DIRECTED & CHOREOGRAPHED BY JUSTIN PECK
Strictly Limited Broadway Engagement
Performances Begin April 24
From Bard to Broadway! Following lauded, sold-out runs at Bard SummerScape, Chicago Shakespeare Theater, and Park Avenue Armory, Illinoise is transferring to Broadway for 16 weeks only beginning April 24.
Based on the landmark Sufjan Stevens album, Illinoise “springs to epic life onstage” (The Washington Post) in a “mysterious, deeply moving, and unforgettable dance-musical hybrid” (The New York Times) directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Justin Peck.
Told through live music performed by an 11-member band, three vocalists, and impressionistic choreography, Peck and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury have crafted an original story that bursts with feeling. As friends gather around a campfire, sharing stories of first love, grief, and growing up, “Illinoise explores the hot zone between childhood and adulthood when emotions can be at their most overwhelming” (The New York Times).

Maestro is available to stream on Netflix, and the original soundtrack album is available on CD, vinyl, and digital platforms.
