FLASHBACK FRIDAY✨ Check out pics from our FIRST time performing Cheer Up Hamlet in 2007! This July, our upcoming collaboration with A Palpable Hit Productions & The Fogolar Furlan Club of Windsor, is sure to bring on the fun! This outdoor “Shakespeare-ish In the Park" experience is inspired by the works of William Shakespeare & packed with familiar songs and parodies! This goofy mash-up asks one important question: can anyone cheer up that melancholy Dane? 💀

On the way, he encounters star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet, feuding sisters Kate and Bianca, gold-digging Petruchio, power-hungry Lady Macbeth, and even his old girlfriend Ophelia (who has yet to make it to the nunnery). Will Hamlet finally find joy? There’s only one way to find out!

"WOW, what a show. Had the pleasure of seeing Ride the Cyclone twice this weekend. Truly an all-around amazing performance. The direction, choreography, set, lighting, band were all fantastic - but like any truly great show, only enhanced the phenomenal talent on stage. If you don't have your ticket... what are you waiting for?" Don't miss your chance to Ride the Cyclone!"

Join us for RIDE THE CYCLONE by Korda!!! Audiences in Windsor-Essex are loving the thrilling Windsor Premiere of this stunning Canadian Musical. The show is the next offering in our 2026 Season of "Things That Go Bump in the Night… in the Heart… in the Mind", and continues June 19, 20, 25, 26 & 27 at The KordaZone Theatre.

ABOUT THE SHOW: In this hilarious and outlandish story, 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. This popular musical is a funny, moving look at what makes a life well-lived! The show is helmed by Jeremy Burke, whose recent Korda directing credits include 2025’s The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals, 2024’s The Trench, and 2023’s Romeo & Juliet.

"Ingeniously dark and funny." – The Washington Post

"A wonderful, touching and memorable roller coaster ride of a theatrical experience, for teen and adult audiences alike. With the show’s supernatural atmosphere... this is, quite simply, a beautiful ‘Dream of Life’ come true." – Chicago Theatre Review

"Both eerie and funny, as well as subversive, serious, touching, and great." – Vulture

Korda's 2026 Season is supported, in part, by Windsor Improv Theatre, and Denise and Peter Hrastovec.

"Caught the opening night performance of this show last night, and I plan to see it again! Thoughtfully directed by Jeremy Burke, this is a show full of humour and unexpected pathos. Sydney White alone is worth the price of admission, and there were standout performances by Larissa Wells and Ian MacDonald, guided by the omniscient narrator played by Eric Miinch. The rest of the cast is new to me, but I'll be looking for them in future shows. Get your tickets to this show while you can. You'll be glad you did."
