Don’t mind me, I’m just laying here listening to “The Seer’s Tower” and crying again.

If anyone wants the Apple Music link (since their search feature still sucks): https://music.apple.com/us/album/illinoise-a-new-musical-original-cast-recording/1748216910

Sigh...with the utmost satisfaction.

CD drops 6/21, double LP on 8/30, per Bandcamp.

EDIT: Amazon says CD is out on 6/16, so a hair earlier.

What I usually do is search the most unique song title name (which in this case is a lot of them) and then when the song shows up you can go to the album.

Funny/annoying enough.... I could find it pretty easily in my Amazon music but I can't find the right words to get my Alexa to play it simply thru voice.

That was so haunting.  Shara Nova’s voice is so sublime and exquisite.  
 

Still can’t believe Ben Cook wasn’t nominated for this scene alone.

What a gorgeous recording. Did they record this live? Several songs had applause.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Yeah, I had to scroll way down in the search results for Illinoise. I’m sure if I searched a specific song it might’ve come up easier.

Thought this album was as strange as it was enchanting. 

Full disclosure, I haven’t heard the original Stevens album before, and I can’t begin to picture exactly how quite a few of these songs fit into the balletic structure, but if there’s anyone I trust to crack this code, it’s Justin Peck. 

The record really hits its indie-pop-rock-folk stride when the “stories” emerge in the first act, while the more gorgeous songs can be found in the second act. “The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades…” is my personal highlight of the album and I hope it’s their Tony performance (though I wouldn’t be disappointed by “Chicago”, either).

I feel like Illinoise is one of those cases where you have to see it live to get the full gist of it. And even though some moments here didn’t exactly stick with me — though the three vocalists all have lovely voices — the stagecraft and choreography alone might be reason to go.

It was recorded live during the last week at the Armory! So glad they recorded live, these musicians are so good live and it captures those arrangements and performances so well.

Thank you! I swear I had looked there, but maybe too early?
