“…probably the most uproarious and outrageous piece of musical theatre Canada has ever produced.” -Globe and Mail, Toronto
“…an astonishing trip to both hell and heaven. The much-lauded members of Atomic Vaudeville in Victoria have lovingly crafted a work of pure genius.” –Vancouver Sun
“…riotously funny, always surprising and filled with five shows’ worth of solid ideas.” -NOW Magazine, Toronto
The long-awaited big-cast musical sequel to Legoland, from the theatrical wunderkinder at Victoria’s own Atomic Vaudeville. It’s a comedy, a tragedy, and a musical ride, as a teenage chamber choir from Uranium, Saskatchewan die in a roller coaster accident at a traveling fair. Karnack, a mechanized fortune-telling machine, feels responsible for the young choir’s demise, and gives the teens a chance to express themselves to the world after death. Ride the Cyclone is their final recital, where they celebrate their individuality while coming to terms with their untimely demise. Featuring a cast of Victoria’s most talented young performers, directed by Atomic Vaudeville co-founders Britt Small and Jacob Richmond.
