‘ILLINOISE’ TO SQUEAK INTO BROADWAY SEASON
March 15, 2024 by Philip Boroff

Peter’s Brainteasers:
Two 20th century Tony-winning musicals opened 20 years apart to the day.
Both had one person in common.
He certainly wasn’t the most important individual in the first one, but he was arguably the most important one in the second.
Who is he, and what are the musicals?
Michael’s Musical Moments
MUSIC: ILLINOIS(E), Sufjan Stevens
Music Opener:
“Come on, Feel the Illinoise!”
Music Closer:
“The Man of Metropolis Steals Our Hearts”
