The Saint Cassian High School Chamber Choir will board the Cyclone roller coaster at 8:17pm. At 8:19, the front axle will break, sending them to their tragic demise. A mechanical fortune teller invites each to tell the story of a life interrupted—with the promise of a prize like no other. Ride the Cyclone is a wildly original new musical—part comedy, part tragedy, and wholly unexpected.

Originally developed and created with Victoria BC's Atomic Vaudeville, Ride the Cyclone toured across Canada twice to Intrepid Theatre, The SummerWorks Theatre Festival, The Belfry Theatre, The Arts Club Theatre Company (PuSh International Theatre Festival), The Yukon Arts Centre, The Citadel Theatre, The Manitoba Theatre Centre, Persephone Theatre, and Theatre Passe Muraille. It transferred to Chicago Shakespeare Theater, MCC Theater (Off-Broadway), 5th Avenue Theatre/ACT, and finally to the Alliance Theatre.
