Ride the Cyclone Tickets London – Southwark Playhouse

Buckle up for the ride of a lifetime. Ride The Cyclone returns to Southwark Playhouse Elephant from 19 June to 22 August 2026.

Don’t miss your chance to catch this darkly funny, wildly imaginative, and emotionally charged new musical, starring Kayna Montecillo (The Lightning Thief) as Ocean, Josh Butler (Why Am I So Single?) as Noel, and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner Divina De Campo as The Amazing Karnak.

About Ride The Cyclone The Musical

When a freak rollercoaster accident claims the lives of six Canadian teenagers, they find themselves suspended in limbo — offered one last chance to plead their case for returning to the land of the living. As each teen steps into the spotlight, their stories unravel in a whirlwind of wit, pathos, absurdity and hope.

Blending high-octane pop, heartfelt ballads, and biting satire, Ride the Cyclone takes you on a genre-defying journey through the dreams and regrets of youth. It’s a dazzling, inventive musical that asks a big question with unforgettable style: What makes a life worth living?

Don’t miss the show that turns limbo into a cabaret of life, death, and everything in between.
