Illinoise on Broadway Tickets

Illinoise Broadway Tickets On Sale Now

The folk and baroque-infused sounds of Sufjan Stevens inspire a brand new musical on Broadway this year. Illinoise is a “mysterious, deeply moving and unforgettable” (The New York Times) coming-of-age story that blends live music, dance and theatrical spectacle with a sprawling, wildly inventive story of self-discovery. In NYC following a sold-out premiere in Chicago, book tickets now for this bold new show’s strictly limited engagement at St James Theatre.

What is Illinoise about?

Journey through the American heartland, from storytelling around campfires to the edges of the cosmos, in this one-of-a-kind musical. A group of hikers sit down by the fire to exchange tales about their lives, form relationships, and reflect on the liminal, hopeful and passionate space between childhood and adulthood.

Inspired by Sufjan Stevens’ cult favorite album Illinois, this is an unconventional and compelling new musical. Stevens’ ode to the US state is a cinematic and lush voyage through its people, landscape and history that conjures exciting images of UFOs, zombies and more. On stage, this boundless creativity transforms into a stunning mix of choreography and music.

Cast and Creative Team

Illinoise is adapted for the stage with music & lyrics by Sufjan Stevens, a story by Justin Peck and Pulitzer Prize winner Jackie Sibbles Drury (Fairview), and emotive direction and choreography by Justin Peck.

Peck is a Tony Award-winning choreographer who lit up Broadway with his work on Carousel in 2018, and has worked on film with Spielberg’s West Side Story and Bradley Cooper’s Maestro. He has been lauded for his work on Illinoise during its pre-Broadway runs, with critics calling it “unique and brilliantly realized” (WTTW Chicago).
