A dark armored hand rises from rocky ground against a red, stormy sky. Large bold yellow text reads: “TOMORROW, THE ISLAND DIES.” Ocean waves crash behind, evoking Ryan Scott Oliver’s signature dramatic and ominous style.

Tomorrow, the Island Dies by Ryan Scott Oliver

October 26, 2026

Very Intense Productions, ATNW, and AT Musicals In Concert present:

TOMORROW, THE ISLAND DIES in Concert!

Join an incredible lineup of New York City’s finest up-and-coming performers at 54 Below for a concert presentation of the award-winning new musical TOMORROW, THE ISLAND DIES by Ryan Scott Oliver (35MM: A Musical Exhibition; Jasper in Deadland).

On the storm-ravaged island of Haverness–soon to be lost to rising seas–18-year-old Widow Clack, pregnant and living in exile at the lighthouse with her brother, prepares for the island’s final evacuation. But when a young man is found dead on the beach, the few remaining youth tasked with closing up the village turn on each other, unraveling into paranoia, betrayal, and violence. Set in a not-so-distant future shaped by climate catastrophe, Tomorrow, The Island Dies is a chilling new folk-horror musical (think Once meets Sweeney Todd). Blending gothic tradition with a razor-sharp contemporary lens, the show explores fear, fractured communities, and the haunting question: can we escape the storms we create?

Featuring an incredible 6-piece chamber orchestra.

Directed by Mathieu Whitman & Ryan Scott Oliver.

Music directed by Joshua Zecher-Ross.

Cast announcement coming soon!
