‘Ride the Cyclone’ is the cult-favourite Canadian musical that has grown a large, passionate underground fanbase since it’s origination. Created by playwright Jacob Richmond and composer Brooke Maxwell, the show first premiered in Victoria, British Columbia in 2008 with the Atomic Vaudeville theatre company. After successful Canadian runs, the musical was workshopped and reimagined for a broader audience. It had its U.S. premiere in 2015 at Chicago Shakespeare Theater and later enjoyed an extended Off-Broadway run at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in 2016. Its growing popularity was fueled by viral fan engagement online, streaming cast recordings, and a dedicated following on platforms like TikTok and YouTube.
The show follows six teenagers from the St. Cassian Chamber Choir who die in a freak roller coaster accident. After their untimely deaths, they find themselves in a mysterious limbo where they are offered a second chance at life by a mysterious mechanical fortune teller named Karnak, however only one of them can return to the living… Each teen gets a moment in the spotlight, revealing their deepest hopes, dreams, regrets, and secrets. ‘Ride The Cyclone’ is known for it’s eclectic mix of musical styles, its distinctively quirky, character-driven storytelling and its balance of offbeat humour and thought-provoking themes about life, death, and identity.
This intricate purple lanyard is packed to the brim with iconic references from Ride The Cyclone, making it the ultimate accessory for fans of all things RTC. There is a cheeky nod or two for every character in the story in a very ‘if you know, you know’ sort of way… A rollercoaster, the 2nd place competition trophy, a lucky number 7 ticket and Karnak’s fortune ball of course all feature in the design in addition to a ‘Vote for Ocean’ sign, Mischa’s cap and Noel’s spotlit chair and little Christmas tree twig. Scattered among these in the dynamic, collage-style pattern are an array of uber subtle hints such as Talia’s flower crown, Jane Doe’s Hello Kitty cupcake, sugar clouds for Constance, a cat mask and accordion for Ricky, and Virgil the rat with his electric guitar. It’s not just a lanyard, but a tribute to the entire story.
