Step Right Up! Ride the Cyclone's Cast & Creative Team Prep for New York Premiere

A new off-Broadway comedy is beginning its ascent! Ride the Cyclone is all strapped in for its New York premiere at Lucille Lortel Theatre on November 9. The cast boasts both Broadway alums and welcome newcomers, including Emily Walton, Johnny Newcomb, Gus Halper, Kholby Wardell, Lillian Castillo, Spring Awakening fave Alex Wyse, Bring It On star Taylor Louderman and Emily Rohm. The story follows a high school choir eager to board the Cyclone roller coaster; doing so will lead to their tragic end. Rachel Rockwell directs and choreographs the Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell musical (pictured below). The original production (which included Castillo, Rohm and Wardell) ran at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre last fall . Get ready for a new work full of humor and heart as a mechanical fortune teller invites each student to tell the story of a life interrupted. Opening night it set for December 1 and the limited engagement will run through December 18. We're definitely getting on line for this one!
