NEW YORK—One would never imagine such a weird premise for a musical. On the other hand, someone did. Written by Brooke Maxwell and Jacob Richmond, “Ride the Cyclone” presents six teenagers who have already met their demise when the roller coaster they were riding in breaks apart in a freak accident, plunging them to their deaths.
This show, which originated in Canada and made its American debut in Chicago last year, is wild, witty, and weird. It’s a hoot, never letting down in energy and verve, as performed by most of its original, terrific cast.
Performances are absolutely top-rate.
