Ride the Cyclone at Chance Theater

Ride the Cyclone

Chance Theater
5552 E La Palma Ave Anaheim

Strap yourself in for a bracingly funny, supremely inventive musical journey with more twists and turns than the rickety rollercoaster that sends six teenagers prematurely into the afterlife. Now trapped in a fantastical carnival-like purgatory, a mechanical fortune teller invites the teens to tell their stories of life interrupted with the promise of a prize like no other - the chance to return to life. Already being lauded as a contemporary musical masterpiece, this quirky, smart, and darkly hilarious show reveals the resilience of the human spirit with a riveting score that skillfully mixes cabaret, hip-hop, and Broadway.

"...Ride the Cyclone is a 2008 musical by Canadians Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell. Originally written as a song cycle for the Atomic Vaudeville Theatre Company, it was retooled for its 2015 critically lauded US premiere at Chicago Shakespeare Theater. Since then, the show has played Off-Broadway and at major regional theatres such as the Arena Stage in Washington DC and the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta. In the last two years, the show has developed a strong teen and tween fan base by going viral on Tik-Tok (#theatre, #cosplaying and #lip-syncing). Now, the non-Equity Chance Theater in Anaheim has scored a major coup by landing the California premiere."

"...A carnival sideshow mechanical fortune teller informs six Saskatchewan teens who've just been hurled to their deaths that one of them will be given a second chance at life in the decidedly odd but infectiously entertaining Ride The Cyclone, now being given a sensationally performed and designed California Premiere at Anaheim Hills' Chance Theater."

"...Still, this production of Ride the Cyclone is worth seeing if you’ll already be in the Anaheim area, or if you want to check out a semi-viral sensation (I confess, it hadn’t made it to my corners of the internet, but it has a very dedicated online fan base)."

"...A kooky yet surprisingly poignant thrill ride, RIDE THE CYCLONE is not the expected moody or macabre musical about death, but, rather, an amusing, really zany show that basks in its delightful eccentricity, while also walloping us with all the feels as it cleverly peels away its characters' more harrowing layers."
