Illinoise is a 2023 dance revue musical with music and lyrics by Sufjan Stevens and an original story by Justin Peck and Jackie Sibblies Drury.
The musical was inspired by Stevens' 2005 album Illinois.
The musical follows some friends relating stories around a campfire about their childhoods and growing up; a newcomer to the group, Henry, finally shares how being gay affected his early relationships and friendships.
After a summer festival premiere, regional production and off-Broadway tryout, the show debuted on Broadway in April 2024 at the St. James Theatre; these productions have all been directed and choreographed by Peck.
Reviews on Broadway were positive, and the musical received four nominations at the 77th Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
