St Cassian’s Chamber Choir cast announced for return of RIDE THE CYCLONE at Southwark Playhouse

The cast who will star as the St Cassian’s Chamber Choir in the return of the critically acclaimed RIDE THE CYCLONE THE MUSICAL at Southwark Playhouse Elephant from 19 June - 22 August has been announced today.

The show returns following a record-shattering and sold-out UK premiere run in 2025.

Joining the St Cassian’s Chamber Choir will be Kayna Montecillo (The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, UK Tour) as Ocean, and Josh Butler (Why Am I So Single?, West End) as Noel.

Returning to the show as Jane Doe, Constance, Mischa and Ricky respectively are Grace Galloway (Priscilla The Party, Outernet), Robyn Gilbertson, Bartek Kraszewski and Jack Maverick - all three of whom made their professional debuts in the show last year. The cast is completed by Nathaniel Purnell (Shucked, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre), and Rebecca D’Lacey (The Rocky Horror Picture Show, European Tour), who return as swings.

Casting for The Amazing Karnak to be announced.

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."
