Thanka for the heads up! I had a ticket for the Fisher Center, but ended up not going, and I appreciate that I'm only paying slightly more for a cheap seat at the Armory, one of my favorite performance spaces.

As someone from Illinois, I’m taking the “e” very personally. I feel attacked.

Playing Drama Queen does not become you. I did some research.

Divya Srinivasan created the album artwork,[12] depicting a variety of Illinois-related themes, including Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, the Sears Tower, and Black Hawk. The album cover reads, "Sufjan Stevens Invites You To: Come On Feel the Illinoise!" as a wordplay on the common mispronunciation of the state's name as "ill-i-NOYZ" and a reference to the Slade song "Cum On Feel the Noize" made famous in the United States by the metal band Quiet Riot.

Maybe it extends? I see the next show isn’t until late May

Just bought our tickets.  The Armory is using their smaller seating plan so I suspect this will sell out.  Excited.

Only a few weeks between end of edit: Chicago Shakes run before NYC Armory.  I bet NYC gets Fairchild and this large cast or better.

Easy mistake to make, but it is Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, not DC.  Just bought tickets today.  Seems to be selling fairly well so far.

You're right JasonC3 and makes sense it plays Chicago considering the title.  

Thank you - we're excited to see it in New York
