'Broadway Debut, Aiming for Tony Eligibility

The musical adaptation of Sufjan Stevens' album receives critical acclaim ahead of its opening.

'Illinoise,' a dance-musical adaptation of Sufjan Stevens' 2005 album 'Illinois,' is set to open on Broadway at the St. James Theatre on April 24, just before the Tony Award eligibility cut-off.
Directed and choreographed by Justin Peck with a book by Jackie Sibblies Drury, the show has received positive reviews for its unique blend of music, dance, and theater.
The musical explores themes of self-exploration and community through a group of hikers sharing stories around a campfire.
The production moves to Broadway following sold-out runs at the Park Avenue Armory and Chicago Shakespeare Theater.
Sufjan Stevens, who has kept a low profile due to personal health issues, is credited as part of the creative team.
