Jordon Julien with Stage and Cinema had some thoughts about Ride the Cyclone 

“WHAT A RIDE! NOTHING GOES OFF THE RAILS IN THIS CALIFORNIA PREMIERE”

“This eccentric musical about Socratically examining lives worth living is deep, stimulating and charismatic.”

“The ensemble radiates talent and enthusiasm in every scene”

“the actors seize the moment”

“director Jocelyn A. Brown offers seamless transitions while striking a balanced tone between comedy and poignancy with nary a hint of corniness or camp.”

“Masako Tobaru‘s mood-setting lighting — is remarkably luxurious, especially given a small theater’s constrained budget.”

“musical theatre fans of all ages will be thrilled by this unique ride
