TICKETS + INFORMATION

Choreographer Justin Peck and and the great playwright Jackie Sibblies “Fairview” Drury took Sufjan Stevens’s terrific album Illinois and crafted a story around its songs, which Peck then choreographed. And, surprisingly only because Sibblies Drury is so brilliant, they came up with something bland and reductive (which is why it’s transferring to Broadway). The musical performance, though — arrangements by Timo Andres — is stunning.
