Saw the last two performances in Chicago. Left salty… as in my tears kept flowing - it wasn’t worth trying to wipe them away! It’s an incredible piece, with fantastic arrangements and vocals, a beautiful and heartbreaking story, all told through imaginative movement by a phenomenal cast. I hope it moves to Broadway so I can witness it again. 🙌 Justin, Jackie, the rest of the creative team and cast deserve all the standing o’s and accolades. I hope Sufjan gets to see it, and I hope it’s preserved on film too! 🙏

My wife saw the play in Chicago and we are both looking forward to see the show in New York City next week.

Is this show going to be recorded and anywhere on the internet? I'd give anything to see it. Always imagined the album as a musical because it's so grand and now that the album has been turned intto an actual musical i can't see it.

I thought it was abrasively corny and maudlin. Why fuck up a good album's legacy with this kind of bullshit?
