Direct from two critically acclaimed sold-out productions, the New York Times Critic’s Pick Illinoise transfers to Broadway for 16 weeks only.
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).
Don’t miss this limited Broadway engagement. “Illinoise throws open a window to the cosmos, and we all turn like hungry wintering plants toward the sun” (New York Magazine).
