In retrospect, the entire idea of a Sufjan Stevens Broadway musical feels both far-fetched and inevitable. Last year, director/choreographer Justin Peck and playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury’s Illinoise, an adaptation of Stevens’ 2005 classic Illinois, opened in Chicago.

Earlier this week, Sufjan Stevens was in the news for writing Miley Cyrus a silly grammar-nerd open letter, so it’s nice to see some actual new music — or new-old music, as the came may be — from him. Stevens’s long-lost demos, like “Give A Little Love,” can often be more fleshed-out an...
