Book & Music & Lyrics by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell

Directed by Jenny Lavery

In this hilarious and outlandish story, the lives of six teenagers from a Canadian chamber choir are cut short in a freak accident aboard a roller coaster. When they awake in limbo, a mechanical fortune teller invites each to tell a story to win a prize like no other — the chance to return to life. A funny, moving look at what makes a life well-lived!

Each musical number in Ride the Cyclone showcases a different musical genre – from glam rock to pop to rap and folk, there’s truly something for everyone!

"Both eerie and funny, as well as subversive, serious, touching, and great." - Vulture

Contains mature content, language and themes including discussion of untimely death and mature situations including references to sex, drugs and violence; recommended for ages 13+. This performance also contains strobe and haze effects. 

Runtime is 90 minutes with no intermission.
