Illinoise (the ballet/musical based on Sufjan Stevens' album Illinois) is eying a move to Broadway after its current NY run in Armory Park ends and im just imagining it taking off among the bway Fandom because 1 it's fucking amazing 2 it's gay and sad and will make you cry (but doesn't bury its gays) 3 the characters are broad enough that fanon can do literally whatever it wants with them
But then we'd have a whole Fandom obsessed with esoteric Illinois history which would be so fucking funny.

Sufjan Stevens | Concerning the UFO Sighting Near Highland, Illinois
When the revenant came down, we couldn’t imagine what it was In the spirit of three stars, the alien thing that took its form Then to Lebanon, oh God The flashing at night, the sirens grow and grow
Oh, history involved itself Mysterious shade that took its form Or what it was, incarnation, three stars Delivering signs and dusting from their eyes

In the morning when you finally go And the nurse runs in with her head hung low And the cardinal hits the window
In the morning in the winter shade On the first of March, on the holiday I thought I saw you breathing
All the glory that the Lord has made And the complications when I see His face In the morning in the window
All the glory when He took our place But He took my shoulders and He shook my face And He takes and He takes and He takes
— Sufjan Stevens, 'Casimir Pulaski Day'

Sufjan Stevens | John Wayne Gacy, Jr.
He dressed up like a clown for them With his face paint white and red And on his best behavior In a dark room on the bed, he kissed them all He’d kill ten thousand people With a sleight of his hand Running far, running fast, to the dead He took off all their clothes for them He put a cloth on their lips Quiet hands, quiet kiss On the mouth And in my best behavior I am really just like him Look beneath the floorboards For the secrets I have hid
