The Ballad of Ride the Cyclone: A Wait in the Wings Documentary

Get ready to explore how a small town cabaret unexpectedly exploded into an online phenomenon—and all the ups and downs that came with it—in the first feature length documentary from the hit YouTube channel Wait in the Wings!

To be fair, the idea of a musical comedy where six kids sing for their lives in purgatory after a roller coaster accident was always going to be a tough sell. But to the people who created it, money was the least of their concerns. They needed to deal with their grief in the most absurd way possible. Little did they know, 20 years later it would somehow become a viral sensation.

Buckle up for this new 2 hour film as writer and director Brendon Henderson guides you through the thrilling journey of a musical that never should have worked, and all the highs and lows that came with it.

Compiled from over 20 hours of interviews with the original creative team, actors, and other experts, prepare to uncover the secrets of a cult hit musical nobody knows anything about. With how many twists and turns this story holds, trust us, you’ll want to experience it with a live audience.

This is the story of Ride the Cyclone.
