Ride the Cyclone delivers surprises at every turn as it follows six teenage chamber choir singers, whose lives are cut short in a freak roller coaster accident. Stuck in the afterlife, a mechanical fortuneteller gives them a chance to *sing* their way back to earth. Part comedy, part tragedy, and wholly enchanting, this "ingeniously dark and funny musical" (The Washington Post) shines a light on the resilience of the human spirit, and reminds us how great it is to be alive.
