RICKY CLICKED HIS HEELS

Ricky + Mischa high-fived and it hurt Mischa's hand

Jane is taller than like everyone she's so stiff /pod

Noel backed up and walked to the other side of the stage when Jane walked up to him

When Karnak said "no tradesies" Noel smiled

NOEL TOOK A BITE OF THE BREAST MILK SANDWICH AND DANCED WITH IT THEN WIPED HIS MOUTH OFF AFTER OCEANS INTRO

Ricky + Mischa playing with sock puppets

Jane is so fascinated by her sock puppet

Mischa has a tiny Canadian flag in his intro

Piano renditions of WTWN and TSIA are weird

Everyone is doing their own dances in the first verse of TSIA

MISCHA SMACKED NOEL'S ASS?????

Jane is Talia

Mischa's nails are black!

Noel has a violin during Talia, Ocean + Constance have tambourines, and Ricky has a drum

This rendition of Talia is gorgeous omg

Mischa walks across the stage in search of Talia :-(

The end bit of Talia was so awkward

The Nischa hug was so good :-( you can hear Mischa crying + even after they pulled away Noel was rubbing his shoulder (also it looked like Mischa kissed Noel's neck when he went in for that hug)

Ricky's actor really messed up a few lines of the pre SABM monologue

Jane + Mischa are Ricky's parents

Noel had cat plushies!

Noel's actor is great at accents

This SABM is beautiful holy shit

The SABM costumes for Noel and Mischa sucked

Mischa plays the electric guitar in SABM and Noel headbands intensely

No Ricky costume change :-(

Mischa is Count Dogulous holy fuck he's shooting people

Jane + Ricky dance a lot

Mischa is so affectionate with Ricky he held his face

Everyone had their lives/memories in boxes but there was nothing in Jane's, she looked so hard then SHE PUT HER DOLL IN IT I WILL CRY

The TBOJD umbrellas look sick as hell

The choirs voices drowned out Jane's in the beginning

VISUALS OMG FUCK

TBOJD has the best visuals are you fucking kidding me this is beautiful

TBOJD is the fucking best omg

Birthday hats for everyone but Jane's fell off :-(

Mischa put on Jane's birthday hat for her instead of Ocean

[idk-tbh-idk]

Everyone, pls send your favorite rtc picture that features Mischa(any production, just them being silly) 🔫 or your favorite Mischa picture🔫

[unlock-the-power-of-the-positive]

hello any rtc fans!!!

i’m elliot and i have one main goal for this blog,, spread how amazing theatre south playhouse’s production of ride the cyclone is!!

since i’ve found that tumblr doesn’t have much buzz around theatre south playhouse’s production of ride the cyclone i wanna share it with everyone because they DESERVE publicity because omg everyone in this production is AMAZING!!!

before you ask,, no, unfortunately there will not be any slime tutorials for this production because their licensing doesn’t allow it! while there can’t be a full production video released they can release clips and snippets of it! along with promotional pictures!!

and that’s the reasoning for this blog!!

here i’ll be posting any promotional pictures, updates, and videos of the performance!

however some people tend to get a bit confused by theatre south’s production because of the way its casting works. there are two separate casts, the sugarclouds and jawbreakers! along with two separate casts they also include hank and astrid! it can get extremely confusing but i will always specify which cast is in which photo/video when i post it!

that’s pretty much it! i love this production and its cast with all my heart and i just want to be able to tell people how amazing they are! if you have any specific questions/requests feel free to put them in my asks! i can’t always guarantee i’ll have them because i can only work with what’s available and allowed to be shared, but ill try my hardest!🫶

(jawbreaker cast! photo from @retro.ducky on tiktok!!!^^^)

me with this production^^^

[rtc-confessions]

If RTC ever does go to a major theatre, I'd love to see it in Troubadour Wembley theatre in the UK.

They recently did a production of Newsies in there and I think the layout they had for that stage would be perfect for a show like RTC.

Here's a few pictures of that production to give an example:

I think it'd be just big enough to perform the show without it feeling like it's too big, and there's a great opportunity here to go with a very carnival-circus-esque kind of set that's just filled with stuff for the characters to interact with if that makes sense.

[sleepboysummer]

why u guys should love usi theatre rtc as much as i do

and why it might be my favorite production design of all time (whaat) (including original tours) (insane)

first off. this LIGHTING DESIGN OH MY LORDDD. jane being sent home... look at those stars..

tiny ocean lovers come get your food

janey is also tiny. just look at her. she is 1inch tall

speaking of jane... dark hair jane with braids....

and ribbons...

HER SKIRT IS SPINNY LOOK AT HER :3

also the girls in talia have ribbons that they dance with.

(and there is an actress playing talia and it is beautifully choreographed but enough said there i will let you see that for yourself..)

spacedolls enjoyers. here you go.

marionette jane enjoyers !!!! here you go!!!

noel with a long blonde ponytail. he lets his hair down and wears a corset and garters in noels lament. and monique is SO cool in this song basically they have a separate actress play monique behind him (almost shadowing noel) and they mirror each others movements. its his fantasy real and in person oh my LORDDD

each costume is super customized to each character.. every one is individual..

this SET you guys this SET oh my GOD i am wowed... please if theres one thing from this production you remember let it be this set

and now. you guys might not be ready.

INDIVIDUAL FUCKING TURNTABLES

LOOK AT HOW IMPRESSIVE THIS IS

NO OTHER RTC PRODUCTION HAS EVER BEEN STAGED LIKE THIS. IS THIS NOT AMAZING TO U GUYS

THIS TECH IS INCREDIBLE I AM FLOORED JAW ON THE GROUND OBSESSED WITH THIS PRODUCTION

[lydiavalentino]

Jane Doe in Purchase College's Ride the Cyclone

[raspberrysmoon]

*gently pushes them towards you*

[janeya]

all of my irls that know rtc sometimes send me tiktoks or pictures from productions they find online and i do not know how to tell them 'Yes. I Have Done Extensive Research of that Production (and EVERY production) and Could Tell You the Details of their Jane Just by Looking at the Set. Sorry to Disappoint, My Friend"

[sydneyofalltrades]

This is for @gay-little-axolotl but also for anyone else interested in my make believe RTC production, leggoooo :)

First things first it’s the 2016 script, bc I’ll be damned if Fall Faire Suite, Ricky’s little intro about fate, and LOVE CONQUERS ALL is removed

Secondly, Ricky has to be played by a disabled actor. Can be any disability, he just needs to be disabled.

Karnak’s Dream of Life

Stylistically, same thing. Jane alone, no head, singing eerily about life. Cuts to black and we see Karnak and he has his explanation

Welcome…

Once again, the same, but Virgil is more or less always around the stage instead of only being seen once, kinda like an ominous reminder that Karnak’s death is approaching. As time goes by, he gets closer and closer to Karnak until the power cable gets severed

Fall Faire Suite

During the projections, we get a split second look at Penny, sort of blink and you’ll miss, kind of so we’re also wondering who she is. Still, her head is covered by the others and the staging for Fall Faire Suite is relatively the same

What the World Needs

Everyone’s wearing shirts that says “Vote Ocean,” the guys are wearing shorts under with the girls wearing skirts.

Ocean herself wears a varsity with a “Vote Ocean” button at the front and a picture of herself in the back, and has a ponytail with a bandana styled like that one “We Can Do It” poster.

Propaganda EVERYWHERE, even the projections say “Vote Ocean”

Mischa holds up a large sign saying “Ocean O’Connell Rosenberg for your vote” when Ocean talks about the Will Smith movie bit

Ricky is forced to wave a flag with Ocean’s face on it

Very patriotic, in Ocean’s favor

After the song everyone runs to the wings to take off the shirts after Ocean tries to win them back (In the order of Constance, Mischa, Noel, Ricky, Jane)

Noel’s interruption of I Love You Guys is when he charges back on stage (it’s dramatic and I love it)

Noel’s Lament

Everyone’s in clothing of the time period, Ocean and Ricky are in suits (something something girls in suits make me feral) and Constance and Jane are in light dresses. Jane has a cute headpiece of the time

They all get ready when Noel’s having that epic monologue rudely interrupted by Karnak

Mischa has a suit slightly different that the rest of them, kinda bc he’s actually a focus character of the song

Ocean’s hair is still in a ponytail bc I love Ocean with a ponytail, it’s just lower now

While Noel does his quick change, Jane passes him those like white feather boas and he wears it until it gets discarded like halfway across the song

He has a knife (prop) for that one line and Ocean takes it and replaces it with a cigarette

I feel like the baby line should be kept, toned down of course

The ending is relatively the same, just more lights. Everywhere

After the song, one by one the choir changes out of their outfits except for Ocean, who just takes off the coat and keeps the rest through Every Story’s Got a Lesson

Every Story’s Got a Lesson

Basically the same, but Ozi’s in a suit

Yeah she still gets angry when Constance mentions porno

But Ricky actually steps up and protects Constance as he’s saying his “porno is magical” line

And that makes Ocean even more mad

This Song is Awesome

Think a music video filmed in a backyard. With more lights

Everyone’s in a tracksuit. Noel and Jane also have hats, Jane’s is a beanie

Mischa’s tracksuit is gold and black like his hat while the others are blue and white

Ocean once again gives a dude a blunt which is awesome

The lighting is way more in tune with the song, and the kids bring up the objects Mischa raps about (McNuggets, PlayStation, Cristal, all that jazz)

Mischa does toss his hat to Noel and rips open his shirt, it’s a law

Noel takes Mischa’s hat and gives his to Constance

The fan actually works this time (I like the silliness but pls)

After the song Mischa takes off his coat and buttons up his shirt for Talia

Talia

During Mischa’s small moment with Talia, the others get dressed in traditional white and red Ukrainian outfits

When they all arrive on stage, Mischa does his own quick change and arrives again and continues the song

Instead of Talia just being projected onto Jane Doe, she also dances with Mischa as if she was Talia

Then she gets ripped away from him and he does that really heartbreaking part of the song

During the disco bit everyone grabs their sunglasses from TSIA bc yes

They dance around Mischa then race to the wings to get changed again, leaving Mischa alone on stage looking wistfully at the projection of him and his love

Space Age Bachelor Man

Everyone’s in a super ridiculous outfit (obviously not too revealing, but the sexual tones are kinda there)

Depending on the performer’s preference, Ricky can and will use a mobility aid/ASL in his performance

The guys get like half a minute to change bc Ricky doesn’t give them much time, the girls have a little bit longer

Ricky himself has an outfit bedazzled so much you could see the gems from Saturn

Also his top is unbuttoned bc yes

Overall the behind the curtain scene can be prerecorded or done in real time depending on how quick Ricky could change idrk

As usual, Jane runs halfway so she can get ready for TBOJD

Ricky should deffo kiss Ocean, for the fun of it

Uhh something something the guitar solo is done by the Virgil, who’s now wearing a cat mask

The Ballad of Jane Doe

During Jane’s bumper, everyone gets ready and wears funeral wear. Jane, however, is in a gauzy lacy plain white dress, a haunting look for the empty girl

There’s doll imagery everywhere, along with imagery of the coaster going down

Jane still does her flying bit, and the dress really makes it look like she’s a ghost

As she sings on the ground, she tries to get the attention of the others, but none of them respond or even seem to notice her

She reached out to the audience as a way of asking, but obviously no one knows who she is

At the end of the song, everyone just leaves her alone and she’s reaching for them, but no one responds

The New Birthday Song

Everyone’s in their normal uniform except Jane

Constance has two party hats on her buns and everyone else wears one too

Ricky and Noel even put up a small “Happy Birthday” poster using Ocean’s torn propaganda

Jane still gets the cloak and hat, and she’s still confused

After the party, Jane goes to change back, Noel and Mischa have their moment, and Noel actually hugs Mischa instead of just leaning on his shoulder

When Jane comes back, Ricky takes her hand when he offers her the name Savannah

When Jane accepts, he hugs her, but she’s still sort of confused, she does hug him back tho

Sugar Cloud

Everyone’s in jackets of purple with light pink, as Constance monologues one by one they get dressed

Constance herself gets dressed behind the curtain. While the others are singing backup, she gets her pink suit on and has a headband with a small pink hat attached to it, since it won’t sit still on her head

Pink and purple and blue and gold lighting everywhere, and Constance actually gets to be the main singer, with the light rarely focusing on the others

Confetti comes from the top of the stage and pours down on the kids and somehow Karnak has a hat on too

Jane’s little claps at the end of the song stay, they’re too precious

After the song, Ocean says “I’m sorry” out loud instead of a whisper, and Constance forgives her by hugging her

Afterwards, during the final vote, each character removes their jackets and reveals they each have one thing from their songs

Ocean has her big “Vote Ocean” pin on her chest

Noel has his feather boa, which he fashioned as a scarf

Mischa has his hat and the sash(?) from Talia around his waist

Ricky has the headband from his wig along with light up shoes

And Constance had her headband with her hat

Jane had nothing to begin with, so she has nothing now

It’s Not a Game/It’s Just a Ride

As Ocean votes for Jane to come back, she takes her hand and makes her stand in the front of the stage, as a symbolic gesture, she no longer cares for just herself anymore

Jane gets one last hug from Constance before she guides her gently to the other side

Karnak’s death is the same thing, except Virgil is seen as well, he falls to the ground dead

The kids all swap their souvenirs to each other as the song gets lighter, and then returns them back to their rightful owners

Penny’s life is still the same, but it features some mentions of Legoland, and she and Ezra are both seen growing old together

At the end of the song, we see the kids get in their rollercoaster staging as Jane arrives again, floating once more, singing the final bits of the song

Aaaaaand that’s it!! God that was long, hope you enjoy!!
