Inspired by the 1939 World’s Fair in New York, the World of Tomorrow utilizes innovative musical arrangements, narration, costume and prop design to present the contrast between the ‘retro-future’ that was imagined in the mid-20^th century—the titular ‘World of Tomorrow’—and the reality of the future we find ourselves in. At first pessimistic, the show ultimately ends on an upbeat tone.
