A hauntingly funny, unexpectedly moving musical about lost futures, teenage dreams, and the stories we leave behind.
Ride the Cyclone will break your heart, make you laugh, and leave you thinking about what matters most.

What do a competitive belter, a headless girl, a Ukrainian wannabe rap god, and a talking fortune teller have in common?
They’re all stuck in Ride the Cyclone, and they’ve got one last shot at life—through song.
This isn’t your grandma’s musical. Unless your grandma likes dark comedy, wild dreams, and power ballads. In which case, bring her too.
