Six teenagers. One fatal roller coaster. One impossible question.

After a tragic accident, members of a high‑school chamber choir find themselves suspended in limbo, faced with a choice that demands both courage and raw honesty. One of them can return to life, but which one will it be? As electrifying songs shift from hilarious to haunting, each teen steps forward with disarming vulnerability, revealing their deepest fears, boldest dreams, and the fragile truths that define who they are. Darkly funny yet profoundly moving, Ride the Cyclone celebrates the courage it takes to be seen and the bravery required to face the unknown, both in life and beyond it.

Ride The Cyclone is presented by arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC. (www.broadwaylicensing.com
