Ride the Cyclone at Highview Arts Center

HAC Closes Season with Darkly Hilarious Musical Ride the Cyclone
 

"You’re not gonna wanna miss this wild ride!"- Sarah Thomas, Co-Director

HAC is thrilled to present the grand finale of its 2024-2025 season, RIDE THE CYCLONE, running May 15-25, 2025. This wildly inventive musical, with book, music, and lyrics by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell, has gained a cult following for its wit, poignancy, and high-energy score.

What happens when the ride ends too soon?

A group of six Canadian high school choir students find themselves in an unexpected limbo after a tragic roller coaster accident. As they navigate this surreal afterlife, each teen gets a chance to tell their story and plead their case for a second shot at life. The result is a touching, hilarious, and thought-provoking exploration of fate, ambition, and the resilience of the human spirit.
