Synopsis
In this hilarious and outlandish story, the lives of six teenagers from a Canadian chamber choir are cut short in a freak accident aboard a roller coaster. When they awake in limbo, a mechanical fortune teller invites each to tell a story to win a prize like no other – the chance to return to life. This popular musical is a funny, moving look at what makes a life well-lived! The show will be helmed by Korda Board Member Jeremy Burke, whose recent Korda directing credits include 2025’s The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals, 2024’s The Trench, and 2023’s Romeo & Juliet. This production will also be the Windsor premiere of this Canadian musical.
"Ingeniously dark and funny." – The Washington Post
"A wonderful, touching and memorable roller coaster ride of a theatrical experience, for teen and adult audiences alike. With the show’s supernatural atmosphere... this is, quite simply, a beautiful ‘Dream of Life’ come true." – Chicago Theatre Review
"Both eerie and funny, as well as subversive, serious, touching, and great." – Vulture
Director's Note
Coming soon.

The Cast
Mena Fusaro as Ocean O'Connell Rosenberg
Mena is thrilled to be diving into the role of Ocean! She is a senior student at Walkerville Collegiate Institute, and as been participating in local theatre for 10 years. Some recent roles include Matron Mama Morton In Chicago, Serena in Legally Blonde, and serveral shows with the Windsor Light Music Theatre's youth program. Ride the Cyclone is one of her favourite shows, and she is so honoured to be a part of the cast for her very first Korda show. She would like to thank all her peers for being so supportive of her, and always cheering her on (even when her speeches are definitely too long). Democracy rocks!.
Ian MacDonald as Mischa Bachinski
Bio coming soon.
Beau St. Pierre as Noel Gruber
Beau St. Pierre (Not to be confused with Sydney White, though they are extremely similar) is a Windsor based singer and actor. Recent stage credits include Cliff Bradshaw in Cabaret with BRC Theatre Co. and Gabe Goodman in Next to Normal with Cardinal Music Productions. Beau is very excited to be performing in his first Korda Production and promises he’s much happier than the character he plays.
Eóghan McCullough as Ricky Potts
Eóghan McCullough is a Windsor-born musician, and most recently actor! He holds a Bachelor of Music from the University of Windsor. Recent stage appearances include Max and Rudy in Cabaret, and several alongside the Windsor Classic Chorale, notably the Windsor premiere of Andrew Balfour’s Nôtinikêw (Going to War) in November 2025. He also plays guitar and yells in local DIY emo three-piece Bird Witness. He is incredibly excited for his first singing role, and for his Korda debut. Meow.
Larissa Dawn as Constance Blackwood
Bio coming soon.
Sydney White as Jane Doe
Sydney (not to be confused with Beau St. Pierre, though they are extremely similar) performs onstage every once in a while when the moon is high and the time is right. They were last seen in Korda's The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals or Windsor Light Music Theatre's Waitress. Come see them in their next project, WECAP's Lizzie: The Musical in August. They would like to thank the Windsor bus system for transporting them to every rehearsal. They would also like to thank the SAW franchise for inspiring them every step of the way. For any inquiries, please leave a box of milk duds and a copy of American Psycho (the novel) under a cartoon-style cardboard box trap. They will be in touch within the hour.
Eric Miinch as Karnak
Bio coming soon.
