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. With music showcasing various musical genres—from glam rock to pop to rap and folk—buckle up for a funny, moving look at what makes a life well-lived!
