Colonial High School Theatre Department Presents

Ride the Cyclone (High School Edition)
Book, Music & Lyrics by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell

Originally Produced by Kevin McCollum and Morris Berchard

In this hilarious and outlandish story, the lives of six teenagers from a Canadian chamber choir are cut short in a freak accident aboard a roller coaster. When they awake in limbo, a mechanical fortune teller invites each to tell a story to win a prize like no other — the chance to return to life. This popular musical is a funny, moving look at what makes a life well-lived!

Content Advisory: Broadway Licensing’s author-approved High School Editions are carefully curated to be made suitable for teenage actors and family audiences. These versions soften offensive language and sexual content while maintaining the integrity of the show and preserving the authors’ intent. We are proud to work with our authors and create opportunities for student actors to engage with relevant material in an age-appropriate manner. 

RIDE THE CYCLONE (HIGH SCHOOL EDITION) may feature flashing lights, strobe effects, and theatrical fog. It also includes themes and content that may be unsettling for some audiences. The show explores dark humor, death, mortality, mental health struggles, and contains potentially distressing depictions of violence and tragedy. Viewer discretion is advised, particularly for younger audiences and those sensitive to these themes. The opinions, characters, and narratives portrayed in RIDE THE CYCLONE (HIGH SCHOOL EDITION) are fictional and intended for entertainment purposes only.
