Direct from two critically acclaimed sold-out productions, Illinoise is transferring 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” (The New York Times) directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Justin Peck.  

Peck and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury have crafted an original coming-of-age story that takes the audience on a journey through the American heartland—from campfire storytelling to the edges of the cosmos—all told through a unique blend of live music, dance and theater. “Illinoise explores the hot zone between childhood and adulthood when emotions can be at their most overwhelming” (The New York Times).
