A rollercoaster of fate, humor, and purgatory, Ride the Cyclone follows six teenagers, members of an acapella choir from a small town, who meet an untimely end in a freak carnival accident. As they find themselves stranded in a post-life space controlled by a fortune-telling machine, they are given a chance to compete for a second chance at life. Each contestant tells their story through an array of songs, memories, and darkly comedic revelations. Equal parts heart-wrenching and hilarious, this contemporary pop-rock musical explores themes of destiny, self-identity, and the unpredictability of life — and death. Who will survive the ride?

Content Note: contains mature language, sexual references, and themes of life and death.
