What happens after the ride ends? In this darkly comedic, electrifying and edgy musical, six teenagers from the St. Cassian Choir must plead their case for a second chance at life after a tragic roller-coaster accident wipes them out. Their fate rests in the hands of The Amazing Karnak, a mechanical fortune teller who sets the rules and spins the wheel of destiny with a promise to save whichever has the best story. With jaw-dropping music, sharp humor, and an unexpectedly tender heart, Ride the Cyclone is a one-of-a-kind theatrical thrill ride you won’t forget. But leave the little ones at home- this provocative partnership with Arena Dinner Theatre is best enjoyed by mature teens and adults!
