Ride the Cyclone
In a darkly hilarious and unexpectedly heartfelt musical, six Canadian teens from the Saint Cassian Chamber Choir meet their untimely end on a roller coaster — only to wake up in limbo, greeted by an aging mechanical fortune teller named The Amazing Karnak. In a dusty, forgotten amusement park warehouse, these ghostly teens are given one extraordinary chance: tell their story, and one of them will be returned to life. But who deserves a second chance the most?
Set to a genre-defying score — from soaring ballads to sharp-edged rap — Ride the Cyclone is a wildly original one-act musical that explores what it means to live, love, and leave your mark. With a quirky, diverse cast of unforgettable characters, this cult hit has captivated audiences across North America with its blend of biting comedy, unexpected pathos, and show-stopping musical numbers.
