The spot-on delivery, singing and exuberant energy from the stage spilled into the auditorium for a raucously enthusiastic party that lasted the entire show.

In this hilarious and outlandish musical, 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. The result is a funny, deeply moving look at what makes a life well-lived!
