The Sufjan Stevens dance musical Illinoise will become a surprise last-minute addition to the current Broadway season. Currently running Off-Broadway at Park Avenue Armory, the work will transfer to Broadway's St. James Theatre beginning April 24 and will open the same night. The strictly limited engagement will continue through August 10.

STEVEN SPIELBERG: We wanted the "Cool" dance number to be really... cool and dangerous. In the original stage musical, it takes place after the rumble, but in our film, it happens before. Riff has gotten a gun from an Irish bar, and Tony is trying to get the Jets not to fight. He tries to get the gun away from Riff, and they have a very stylized, existential dance, which the Robbins estate saw and approved about four months before we started shooting.

hi Illinoise has fundamentally changed me as a person and i’m not sure i’ll ever recover.

also Ben Cook is even more brilliant in person than he is through a screen and getting to watch him dance with my own two eyes has made my entire life

Illinoise, Justin Peck’s narrative dance musical inspired by Sufjan Stevens’s concept album “Illinois,” opened in New York City on March 7, 2024 at the Park Avenue Armory. In making it a "Critic’s Pick," Jesse Green, theatre critic of The New York Times, called the production — with a story (without dialogue) by Jackie Sibblies Drury and Peck — “deeply moving.”  Photos by Sara Krulwich

God, seeing the Illinoise ballet just added a whole extra layer to "listening to Sufjan Stevens and having feelings."

(it's moving to NY in March, FYI)

#Scalper tickets for the last show if it's Chicago run tonight are like $400 each smh #I hope they release an album of their arrangement #Illinois #Illinoise #come on feel the illinoise #sufjan stevens #justin peck #post o' mine

As was the case with what he did for “Carousel” and “West Side Story,” both of which I thought choreographically superb, Peck articulates yearning so very well. He knows how to create pictures and then explode them, to encapsulate what happens to our bodies when we feel tense or afraid or untrusting of our partners or friends. But he also loves manifesting joy and thus he leads Stevens naturally introverted work firmly by the hand in that direction. I imagine Stevens would be surprised by how fun his own self could be.

Hi there! Do you have to share some ballet documentaries? I've been really wanting to watch some, but I don't know where to begin.

Great question! There are tons of ballet documentaries and plenty are available for free on youtube and other streaming platforms. Here are just a few of my personal favorites:

The ballet documentary that got me into Russian ballet for the first time is Ballerina (2006). This film is centered around the Mariinsky Ballet and the Vaganova Academy and a bunch of really amazing dancers are interviewed in it, Somova, Obratzova, Zakharova, Vishneva, and Lopatkina!

Ballet 422 is another really interesting documentary. This one follows Justin Peck through the process of creating a new ballet for NYCB. I found watching the creative process to be really fascinating, from rehearsals with dancers to backstage making decisions about lighting and costumes.

Finally, a series on BBC was released called "Agony and Ecstasy: A Year with English National Ballet". Right now, all that's available to watch is the first episode, but it's free on youtube, and is super fascinating, following the every day realities of a ballet company including casting complications, long rehearsals, and the pressures of debuting new roles. Plus, the first episode follows Daria Klimentova just a few years before her retirement along with Vadim Muntagirov just as he's starting out his career!
