About The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical
The story follows Percy Jackson, who lives an ordinary life in New York until he’s shocked to discover he is the half-blood son of the Greek God Poseidon. As he is plunged into a world that some might say is all Greek to him, it turns out to be much bigger than he could possibly have imagined. With newly discovered powers he is unable to control, an unwanted destiny, and a whole textbook’s worth of mythical monsters on his trail, Percy must learn what it means to be a hero. The future of the world hangs in the balance as Percy and his friends embark on an epic adventure that will have you on the edge of your seat.
The bestselling book was first released in 2005 and garnered critical reception. From there, the book was made into a whole series with a total of 18 books. Since then, it was adapted for a film in 2012 starring Logan Lerman, Sean Bean, and Pierce Brosnan, and is now a major TV series on Disney+ that had huge success upon it’s release with 13.3 million viewers in its first six days.
