“A wonderful, touching and memorable roller coaster of a theatrical experience.”
– Chicago Theatre Review
In this hilarious and highly original story, six teenagers from a Canadian chamber choir meet an unexpected end in a roller coaster accident. Upon awakening in limbo, they encounter the Amazing Karnak, a mechanical fortune teller who invites them to participate in a high-stakes game of life and death. Much like the different stages of grief, each character in this story is distinct and complex in their own way. However, they are all compelled to unite and collaborate to achieve their ultimate goal. This beloved musical has become a viral sensation, offering a humorous yet poignant exploration of what makes a life well-lived.
