New disabled Ricky Potts actor has entered the ring!
This is Kate Allen (she/they/he), who both directs and plays Ricky Potts in Roller Coaster Theatrics' production of Ride the Cyclone, located in Bluffdale, Utah. According to her Tiktok, she is an ambulatory cane user with POTS and chronic nerve pain, in addition to being autistic, and she seeks to play Ricky with those same disabilities.
And, yes, Spacedolls is canon in this production (Ricky planned on confessing his love to Penny, before they ended up dying on the Cyclone)!
2026 is really the year for disabled Ricky Potts actors!
