Ride the Cyclone Extends Off-Broadway

Taylor Louderman's unexpected departure from the New York premiere of Ride the Cyclone doesn't seem to have hampered the production. The new musical has extended at off-Broadway's Lucille Lortel Theatre through December 28; the MCC production had previously been set to shutter on December 18.

Rachel Rockwell directs and choreographs the Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell musical, which follows a group of high school students who take a fatal ride on the Cyclone roller coaster.

The cast features Tiffany Tatreau (in for Louderman), Alex Wyse, Gus Halperfour, Lillian Castillo, Karl Hamilton, Emily Rohm and Kholby Wardell.

Ride the Cyclone began previews on November 9 and officially opened on November 30.
