Can't believe I hadn't seen this before.  Watched it today (HBO/Max) and it's fantastic.

Good luck!

Oh no.  He was a staple on Outlaw Country.  Loved listening to his show.  RIP.

How was it?

I enjoyed it quite a bit.  It was not what I was expecting.  I had assumed that it was going to be a play with the actors breaking into songs off the album (like in a musical).  Instead, there was no spoken dialogue at all.  There was an excellent hybrid band/orchestra with three singers.  They played the entire album faithfully (quite well IMO) and there were about a dozen characters/dancers who kind of danced the "story" as told by the songs.  I left hoping that Sufjan gets the chance to see this either in Chicago or in NYC (where it is headed next).  I think he would be happy with how it came out. 

Watched Maestro last night.  Incredible performance by Bradley Cooper.

This afternoon I'm going to see Illinoise - a theatrical adaptation/musical based on Sufjan Stevens's album of the same name.

Did you really go almost three weeks without seeing live music?!?!  That doesn't seem possible.
