ABOUT
Ride the Cyclone is a darkly comedic musical that follows the story of six teenagers from a Canadian chamber choir who meet an untimely death when their roller coaster, the Cyclone, derails. In a strange liminal afterlife, they are greeted by a mechanical fortune teller named The Amazing Karnak, who offers them a bizarre opportunity: one of them can return to life. Each teen steps forward to share their story, showcasing their dreams, fears, and unfinished business through a series of eclectic and deeply personal musical numbers.
The show blends quirky humor with poignant emotion as it explores themes of mortality, identity, and the yearning for meaning in an unpredictable world. As the teens reveal their inner lives—some hidden behind bravado, others masked by insecurity—the audience comes to understand the complexity of each character beyond their outward personas. Ultimately, Ride the Cyclone is a celebration of life’s fleeting beauty, filled with vibrant performances, inventive storytelling, and a bittersweet sense of wonder.
