BWW Review: THE LIGHTNING THIEF: THE PERCY JACKSON MUSICAL at Shanley High School

When the Shanley Players first announced that they were to present The Lightning Thief, I was very intrigued. This musical is adapted from the book The Lightning Thief written by Rick Riordan. I have personally never read the books, but my kids were all huge fans. I did, however, see the movies with my kids when they came out.
