Ride the Cyclone

Ride the Cyclone

Feb. 6–23, 2025

Book, Music, & Lyrics by Brooke Maxwell and Jacob Richmond

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. This popular musical is a funny, moving look at what makes a life well-lived!
