As the half-blood son of a Greek god, Percy Jackson finds himself on an unexpected and perilous journey when Zeus's master lightning bolt is stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. To clear his name and prevent a war among the gods, Percy must return the bolt—a mission that will take him through the Underworld, test his friendships, and challenge him to confront his family’s past. Adapted from Riordan’s blockbuster novel and infused with an energetic rock score, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical delivers a story that Time Out New York calls “worthy of the gods.”
This fast-paced, action-packed adaptation is a 70-minute adventure perfect for Percy Jackson fans of all ages. Whether you're new to Percy’s world or a devoted fan, this production is not to be missed!
