Ride the Cyclone
Movie • 2016
ReportSynopsis
In a dilapidated warehouse at an abandoned amusement park, an aging mechanical fortune-teller called The Amazing Karnak comes to life, and brings with him a ghostly choir of five deceased high-schoolers - all members of the Saint Cassian Chamber Choir, who were tragically killed on the park’s Cyclone roller coaster. Now, Karnak has the power to return one of these youths to life - but they must all decide among themselves who is the most worthy of a second chance to “ride the cyclone” that is life.

The main cast of teenagers was killed during a roller coaster accident, though it is not graphically shown or depicted onstage.
A character that is a machine malfunctions and essentially “dies” at the end of the show, as well as a humanoid rat character that is shocked to death in the process.

There is an offhand comment by a character who asks if anyone else just peed themselves, to which no one responds and she says “me neither”. It’s not shown, but rather implied.

A character, Ricky Potts, who is mute and uses mobility aids in his life “no longer needs them” when he reaches the afterlife, and proceeds through basically the rest of the musical without his mobility aids and is able to speak and sing without trouble.
In other productions of the show, Ricky does use mobility aids such as a wheelchair pretty much the whole show, however it isn’t common and disabled actors who portrayed Ricky are understood to have been mistreated by the producers.

No one graphically has sex, however it is discussed at length by many of the characters. One of the characters is sexually promiscuous and sings about embracing new men every night as a hooker (“Noel’s Lament”).
Another character sings about sleeping with various women, and most of his song does discuss sex (“Space Age Bachelor Man”).
Another character discusses losing her virginity to a random carnival goer at the fair.

It is not shown onstage, but a character does briefly describe that she lost her virginity to a random carnival goer in a porta-potty.
