MCC Theater announces full cast of Ride the Cyclone

MCC Theater has announced complete casting for its upcoming New York premiere of Ride the Cyclone - only the third musical production in the company's 30-year history, which begins previews on 9 November 2016 at off-Broadway's Lucille Lortel Theatre, before an official opening on 1 December and a limited run through to 18 December 2016.
The full cast of Ride the Cyclone includes (in alphabetical order) Lillian Castillo (Constance), Gus Halper (Misha), Karl Hamilton (Karnak), Taylor Louderman (Ocean), Emily Rohm (Jane Doe), Kholby Wardell (Noel) and Alex Wyse (Ricky).

Ride the Cyclone features book, music & lyrics by Jacob Richmond & Brooke Maxwell, and is directed by Rachel Rockwell. Musical supervision is by Doug Peck, with musical direction by Remy Kurs.

Synopsis: "The Saint Cassian High School Chamber Choir will board the Cyclone roller coaster at 8:17pm. At 8:19 the front axle will break, sending them to their tragic demise. A mechanical fortune teller invites each to tell the story of a life interrupted - with the promise of a prize like no other. Ride the Cyclone is a wildly original new musical - part comedy, part tragedy, and wholly unexpected."

The rest of the creative team has also been announced and features scenic design by Scott Davis, costume design by Theresa Ham, lighting design by Greg Hofmann, sound design by Garth Helm, and projection design by Mike Tutaj.
