Director-choreographer Justin Peck, New York City Ballet's resident choreographer, turns Sufjan Stevens's 2005 concept album, Illinois, into a dance-theater piece with a narrative throughline he has devised with playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury. Three vocalists and an 11-piece band perform the music while a cast of 16 dancers—including Ricky Ubeda, Gaby Diaz, Ben Cook and Ahmad Simmons—brings new blasts of movement to Broadway on April 24 for a limited run.
