Baylie Carson is starring as Oceon in the UK premiere of Ride The Cyclone.


With book, music and lyrics by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell, Ride The Cyclone has become a cult favourite with a huge online following. Lizzi Gee has directed and choreographed the show which begins performances tonight (14th November) at the Southwark Playhouse.


Baylie is from Australia, and has performed in many Australian productions including The Boy From Oz, Bring It On and Lazarus. They also competed in The Voice Australia.  


After performing in the Australian production of Jagged Little Pill, Baylie moved to the UK and made their West End debut as Anne Boleyn in Six The Musical (Vaudeville Theatre). They went on to be in the original West End cast of Mean Girls (Savoy Theatre) covering Janis. Most recently Baylie performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Midnight At The Palace.


Recorded during a break from rehearsals, in this episode Baylie talks about the excitement surrounding Ride The Cyclone and what it’s like to be opening such a hyped up show. Baylie also reflects on their time in Six and Mean Girls and talks about being non-binary and working in theatre… as well as their epic journey from Australia to London.


Ride The Cyclone runs at the Southwark Playhouse until 10th January 2026. Visit www.southwarkplayhouse.co.uk for info and tickets.
