Actors rehearse for "Ride the Cyclone."

 A new musical called "Ride the Cyclone" makes its Hawaiʻi debut this weekend. It's been called “delightfully weird” by critics.

The musical takes the form of a game show, where a group of recently departed teenagers compete for a chance to return to the world of the living.

Before this weekend's premiere, HPR spoke with directors Audrey Castañeda Walker and Lexi Scarborough and cast member Brooke Nakama about the musical.

“Ride The Cyclone” will be performed at the Honolulu Theatre for Youth's Tenney Theatre on March 9 at 2 p.m. and 6:30 pm. To get tickets, click here.
