RIDE THE CYCLONE

book, music, & lyrics by Jacob Richmond & Brooke Maxwell

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! 

Broadway Licensing’s author-approved High School Editions are carefully curated to be made suitable for teenage actors and family audiences. These versions soften offensive language and sexual content while maintaining the integrity of the show and preserving the authors’ intent.

“Ingeniously dark and funny.” —Washington Post.

“A wonderful, touching and memorable roller coaster ride of a theatrical experience, for teen and adult audiences alike. With the show’s supernatural atmosphere...this is, quite simply, a beautiful “Dream of Life” come true.” —Chicago Theatre Review.

“Both eerie and funny, as well as subversive, serious, touching, and great.” —Vulture.
