"Ride the Cyclone" is an electrifying musical experience that will leave you on the edge of your seat! Set in a small-town high school, this darkly comedic tale follows a group of misfit students who are chosen to compete in a local talent show.

Featuring a thrilling score that blends rock, pop and musical theater, "Ride the Cyclone" is a show like no other.
