Ride the Cyclone!

 Hello everybody!



Today, I would like to share with you one of my favorite musicals, Ride the Cyclone. This is a musical created in 2008, by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell, and this is the second part of a trilogy called "Uranium Teen Scream Trilogy", a three parts collection of theatrical works, the first part being "Legoland", which at this moment is considered to be lost media, only a scene of the play being available on Youtube, and the third installment hasn't been written yet.



In this story, we meet  The Amazing Karnak, a mechanical fortune teller who has the ability to predict the deaths of people at a carnival in Urinaium City. In this carnival, an incident happened where 5 young choir members passed away in a malfunctioning accident on a roller coaster called The Cyclone, even Karnak recommended the 5 teenagers ride the cyclone. Karnak could even predict his own death, a rat was chewing one of Karnak's powering cables, killing him In about one hour.

Full of guilt, Karnak summoned the soul of the 5 teenagers, Ocean an ambitious girl who has succeeded in everything, Noel the only gay boy in town who is filled with passion, Mischa an angry Ukrainian boy with a gangsta persona who tries to talk with his online fioncée Talia, Ricky a boy with disabilities but with a huge imagination, and Constance, a nice girl with some insecurities about her and her town. There was also a mysterious character, Jane Doe, another victim of the accident, whose corpse was found with the other ones from the choir, but without a head, there was no way to know her identity. All these children would compete to win the big prize: come back to life. During the musical, we will see each kid show their dreams, wishes, sad stories, and learnings to see who deserves to live once more. 



I learned about this musical from a song I found on Tiktok, I listened to it, then watched the scene, and then I watched the whole musical. Then I realized that many of the songs were on trend at some point on TikTok, so yeah! The songs are really good, and the show is very funny and emotional. I really loved the characters and the story, I've watched many times this musical and every time there's a new detail that I find. So I would really recommend you check this musical, expect everything from the songs, the characters, and the plot. You can find the musical on YouTube as Ride the Cyclone slime tutorial, just make sure not to like the video or it will be erased.

Thank you for reading! And in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening and good night!
