This "winning adaptation" (The Hollywood Reporter) of the best-selling Disney-Hyperion novel by Rick Riordan, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is “a colossal, crowd-pleasing hit of Herculean proportions!” (Broadwayworld.com).

As a son of Poseidon, Percy has newly discovered powers he can't control, monsters on his trail, and is on an epic quest to find Zeus's lightning bolt to prevent a war between the gods. Nominated for 3 Drama Desk Awards including Best Musical, The Lightning Thief “hits the sweet spot” (Wall Street Journal) and provides “a spectacularly fun adventure that will thrill everyone in the family!” (Chicago Parent).

See it if You like The Lightning Thief & don’t mind a very campy yet kind of fun show that makes you think ok that wasn’t much of anything good or bad
Don't see it if You want a good show. It’s merely okay and if you're a stickler for correct Greek mythology this ain’t it
Also The feel was very rock concert but if the concert was kids bop
See it if You are a teenager and a fan of the book or movie. Camp half blood fans will like it
Don't see it if You’re above 25 years or don’t know anything about the book or movie. You will neither understand nor find it entertaining. It’s for kids.
