Ahead of Illinoise’s Transfer to Broadway—What You Might Be Missing From the Sufjan Stevens Musical

By now, there’s already been much buzz surrounding Illinoise, the stage musical-slash-dance performance based on Sufjan Stevens’s hallowed album Illinois. Since its premiere at Bard College in New York last spring, reviews for the production—directed and choreographed by Justin Peck, with a book co-written by Peck and the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury—have been unanimously rhapsodic.

Has anyone in the audience tried to dance? Sitting in the theater at the Park Avenue Armory, I was waiting for my cue to get up and dance. Drury: There was one performance that I was at in Chicago where there were people next to me that were dancing, but I also think that they might've been under the influence of something. It was really fun to watch the show next to them.
