Buckle up for a wild ride through life, death, and the spaces in between. This darkly uproarious musical dares to ask the question: What story would you tell to win a chance at more life?
With an eclectic mix of musical styles, unforgettable characters, and a plot full of unexpected twists, Ride the Cyclone will leave you screaming for more!
"A wonderfully weird and unexpectedly touching show that manages to be both laugh-out-loud funny and deeply poignant." - The New York Times
- THIS PRODUCTION INVOLVES TALK OF DEATH, FLASHING AND FLICKERING LIGHTS, AND LOUD AND SUDDEN NOISES -
The Swoop Troupe is an organization at The University of North Florida entirely dedicated to musical theatre. Since musical theatre and dance are not available as a degree program at UNF, students who are passionate about the art form can only practice it through their involvement in this club.
