Amy Parker in Ride

Amy Parker in Ride

 

Amy Parker appears as the alternate Annie in Ride at The Charing Cross Theatre. Ride tells the story of Annie Londonderry, the first woman to cycle around the world. 

It’s 1895 and Annie Londonderry has returned victorious to America, hailed as the first woman ever to cycle around the world. She’s pioneering, she’s plucky, and she’s pitching her story to the men who run the newspapers. From the infamous wager that set her journey in motion, to her freewheeling adventures with captains, cowboys, and customs officials, Annie just knows her tales will spin readers into a frenzy. But as she approaches rough terrain, and unexpected paths throw her off balance, can Annie regain her footing, or will she confront the past she left behind? 

This award-winning new musical charts one woman's radical act and explores the lies we tell to escape ourselves.
