A high school chamber choir from Uranium, Saskatchewan, perishes in a freak roller-coaster accident, and the Amazing Karnack, a mechanized fortune-teller, feels responsible. To make amends, he brings the teens back to life to sing about their thwarted dreams and desires in one final concert. Created by Victoria’s Atomic Vaudeville, the wildly imaginative and darkly hilarious Ride the Cyclone is already being lauded as a contemporary musical masterpiece.

With morbidly comic and unforgettable numbers like “Space Age Bachelor Man” and “Sugar Clouds,” Atomic Vaudeville skillfully mixes a range of musical styles embracing cabaret, hip-hop, gospel and Broadway. Winner of the 2012 Dora Award for Outstanding Touring Production, Ride the Cyclone has been hailed as “a work of pure genius…a dark and delicious carnival of lost souls” (The Vancouver Sun).

>>Probably the most uproarious and outrageous piece of musical theatre Canada has ever produced<< The Globe and Mail

Atomic Vaudeville has developed a cult-like following with a young spirited audience for their long running monthly cabaret show in Victoria BC. Founded by Britt Small and Jacob Richmond in 2004, their award-winning productions (including Legoland, The Qualities of Zero and Circus Fire) have toured to Toronto, Seattle, Bellingham, Prague, New York, Victoria and Vancouver.
