Review: RIDE THE CYCLONE, THE MUSICAL at Wilmington Drama League
by Rosanne DellAversano - Apr 28, 2026
For many, the wild and unpredictable ride of a roller coaster is exhilarating and euphoric, while for others, it is traumatic and elicits multiple phobic fears. The musical RIDE THE CYCLONE is very much like a roller coaster in that the mindset of the viewer makes all the difference. Labeled as a “wildly original new musical – part comedy, part tragedy, and wholly unexpected,” is RIDE THE CYCLONE worth the price of a ticket?

Six teenagers are killed in a freak rollercoaster accident and find themselves in a competition in which they must sing a song to prove that they are the person that should be brought back to life by a mysterious fortune-telling machine. Quite the wild tale, no? But that’s only the beginning of Ride The Cyclone.
