RIDE THE CYCLONE to return to Southwark Playhouse Elephant after sell-out run

It has been announced that the critically acclaimed RIDE THE CYCLONE THE MUSICAL will return to Southwark Playhouse Elephant from 19 June-22 August following a record-shattering and sold-out UK premiere run in 2025.

The musical, written by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell, previously broke Southwark Playhouse’s record of most tickets sold within a 24-hour period after going on sale and has received a flurry of hugely positive reviews.

RIDE THE CYCLONE THE MUSICAL is directed and choreographed by Lizzi Gee, with musical direction and supervision by Ben McQuigg, set and costume design by Ryan Dawson Laight, lighting by Tim Deiling, video design by Nina Dunn for PixelLux, sound by Tom Marshall, illusion design by Richard Pinner, and casting by Harry Blumenau.

We’re back for round two. Ready to ride again?

After a freak roller-coaster accident, six teenagers find themselves suspended in limbo and offered one final chance to return to life. One by one, they step into the spotlight to prove why they deserve that second chance.

Darkly comic, unexpectedly moving, and told at full tilt, this 90-minute musical is a five-star theatrical thrill ride. London — this is one ride you can’t miss.

Producers Kevin McCollum, Morris Berchard and Jack Maple said of the show’s return: “We couldn’t be more excited to bring Ride The Cyclone back for another ride. We were delighted that we sold out our initial run, and are thrilled to be returning to Southwark in 2026 to give those who missed out on tickets the first time around a chance to Ride The Cyclone."

Casting is to be announced.

Tickets for RIDE THE CYCLONE go on sale on Wednesday (18 March), with further info here.
