It was the dawn of the Pandemic, and a trio of tenacious musical theatre artists faced a reckoning. How could we adapt our artform to maintain forward momentum in the uncertainty of The Quarantimes?

The answer was “The World to Come”: a ground-breaking audio series that touched upon the pertinent themes of the day by imagining a future where post-apocalyptic doesn’t necessarily mean dystopian. We created a world of whimsy, with heightened stakes and battalions of pop-culture references for fans of every entertainment genre. And what’s more? We made the whole thing a musical! We wrote over 50 original songs in diverse styles and genres spread throughout a 12 episode season, then gathered an incredible troupe of talents from Broadway and beyond. Here is a taste of the music we created.
