Music Mountain Theatre presents "Ride the Cyclone"

originally published: 03/25/2025

(LAMBERTVILLE, NJ) -- Music Mountain Theatre presents Ride the Cyclone weekends from March 28 to April 13, 2025. In this hilarious and outlandish story, the lives of six teenagers from a Canadian chamber choir are cut short in a freak accident aboard a roller coaster.

When they awake in limbo, a mechanical fortune teller invites each to tell a story to win a prize like no other — the chance to return to life. This quirky, edgy cult musical is part comedy, part tragedy, wholly enchanting, and will make you feel great about being alive!

This production has direction and choreography by Deven Miller, with costume design by Jordan Brennan, scenic design by McAfee Madding, and lighting design by Chris Chichon. The cast includes Elizabeth Axler (Jane Doe), Elise Carey (Ocean), Sarah Harrison (Constance), Nicholas La Russa (Noel), Roger Madding (Karnak), Connor Riley (Mischa), and Shawn Ritzheimer (Ricky), with understudies Soren Madsen, Graycen Paulicelli, Sol Siedell, and Morgan Tarrant.

Tickets are available for purchase online.  Music Mountain Theatre is located at 1483 NJ 179 in Lambertville, New Jersey.

Content Warning: Ride the Cyclone contains strong language, mature themes, and references to sex, drugs, and violence. Please note that this production will utilize theatrical fog, pyrotechnics, and strobe lighting.
