More about the show
In Ride the Cyclone, when a freak roller coaster accident claims the lives of six teens, they find themselves trapped in limbo and offered one last shot at life. One by one, they step into the spotlight to prove why they deserve a second chance at life.
The show scored some impressive reviews when it opened last year, including five stars from What’s On Stage, and four stars from The Times and The Standard.
Once again directed and choreographed by Lizzi Gee (A Christmas Carol, Groundhog Day The Musical), Ride the Cyclone has music, lyrics and book by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell.
