Description:

Percy Jackson’s life changes forever when he learns that he is a demigod—the son of a Greek god. Suddenly thrust into a world of mythological creatures, ancient prophecies, and powers he barely understands, Percy finds himself at the center of a crisis among the gods. When Zeus’s powerful lightning bolt goes missing and Percy is accused of stealing it, he must embark on a dangerous quest to recover the weapon, clear his name, and stop a war from erupting on Mount Olympus.

Along the way, Percy faces countless challenges, from battling legendary monsters to journeying into the Underworld itself. Guided by a mysterious prophecy from the Oracle, he must uncover the truth behind a foretold betrayal by someone he trusts while also confronting difficult feelings about the father who has been absent from his life.

Based on Rick Riordan’s bestselling novel The Lightning Thief, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical brings this beloved story to the stage with an electrifying original rock score. Packed with excitement, humor, and heroic adventure, this mythical journey has been praised as an experience truly “worthy of the gods.”
