Ride the Cyclone

Ride the Cyclone is a musical in which 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. Through a wondrously funny and touching series of songs, the teen contestants argue that they should be the ones to be saved. Told with moving insights into adolescence as well as dark comedic style benefiting the outrageousness of its premise, Ride the Cyclone is a memorable and original musical written by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell. The production runs October 9–25, 2026 at The Phantom Projects Theatre at La Habra in La Habra, California.
