U.S. Premiere - The Old Globe

RIDE returns in 2024 and this time - Annie Londonderry is back on home turf!

Playing March 30th - April 28th 2024 at San Diego's Old Globe Theatre.

The extraordinary story of the first woman to cycle around the world.

Multi-award-winning new musical RIDE launches at Leicester Curve in a “sublime, pitch-perfect production” (WhatsOnStage) with a “stunning original score” (EverythingTheatre) following its critically acclaimed, sell out run in London last year.

It’s 1894 and as the bicycle is sweeping change across America, Annie Londonderry finds herself with a wager to settle: can a woman cycle across the world? With only 15 months to make the trek across four continents, she quickly finds herself involved in more than she bargained for. From moneymaking masquerades as a Harvard professor to hunting tigers with German royalty, Annie spins the media into a frenzy with tales of her thrilling escapades. But with time running out and press coverage spiralling, she soon discovers that no matter how far she rides, the secrets of her past will always catch up with her.

Join Annie on the journey of a lifetime in the smash hit musical about adventure, determination, and rewriting your narrative.

A Note From Tony:

It is hard to imagine we’re going to get another new musical as heart-soaringly good as Ride this year. There’s a real thrill in feeling like you’re in the presence of theatrical magic and with Freya Catrin Smith and Jack Williams’ new musical Ride, it really feels like the start of something special.
