Review: RIDE THE CYCLONE, THE MUSICAL at Wilmington Drama League

Review: RIDE THE CYCLONE, THE MUSICAL at Wilmington Drama League

by Rosanne DellAversano · April 28, 2026

Producing a play called POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive in today’s political climate takes nerve. Aisle Say applauds Kerry Kristine McElone and the Board of City Theatre for having exactly that kind of chutzpah. Mounting this razor-edged farce at a mo…
