Step right up for Ride the Cyclone, a darkly funny, heartfelt, and unforgettable musical coming to the Barnstormers Theater of Ridley Park! After a tragic roller coaster accident, six Canadian teenagers find themselves in limbo, given one last chance to tell their stories and compete for a second shot at life. With an eclectic score ranging from hip-hop and pop ballads to haunting cabaret tunes, this cult-favorite musical balances laughter, heartbreak, and hope in equal measure. Don’t miss the ride of a lifetime.

NAME REDACTED
Jane Doe
"Jane Doe" is what the coroner said, they found my body, not my head, no parents came, and so they never learned my name, or who I used to be. My life, and unsolved mystery.
From ashes I was made, from ashes I return. And so I walk alone and wonder why?
