Theatre South thrills with ‘Ride the Cyclone’

Theatre South Playhouse is filling its stage with thrills and chills with its production of the hit musical, “Ride the Cyclone.”

With book, music and lyrics by Brooke Maxwell and Jacob Richmond this dark comedy musical takes the stage at the Playhouse to thrill and chill audiences in our immersive space.

In this hilarious and outlandish story, the lives of a group of 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, The Amazing Karnak, invites each to tell a story to win a prize like no other — the chance to return to life. 

Additionally, Theatre South Playhouse is offering “Into The Cyclone — An Exclusive Post Show Experience.” Fans can join the theater for “The Late Show with The Amazing Karnak,” featuring a meet-and-greet and talk-back session with the cast. Guests will be part of the full “Ride The Cyclone” experience with audience participation games and skits, cast karaoke, surprise songs and an hour of stepping into our world at the Wonderville Traveling Fairgrounds. This is a separate ticketed event; presence at that evening's show is not required.

Showtimes include 7:30 p.m. shows on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. matinees Saturdays, April 26-27, May 3-4 and May 10-11, May 31 to June 1, and Sunday, April 28. The Into the Cyclone post-show experience takes place at 9:45 p.m. on Saturdays.

Theatre South Playhouse is located at The Marketplace at Dr. Phillips, 7601 Della Drive, Suite 15, Orlando.
