The Lightning Thief 2
A new Theatre for Young Audiences version featuring a thrilling original rock score, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is an action-packed mythical adventure “worthy of the gods” (Time Out New York) that stormed Broadway in 2019. When teenager Percy Jackson discovers he’s a demigod, he and his friends embark on an epic journey to find Zeus’ missing lightning bolt and prevent a war among the gods. As the half-blood son of Poseidon, the Greek God of the Sea, Percy has newly-discovered powers he can’t control, a destiny he doesn’t want, and a mythology textbook’s worth of monsters on his trail.

Representing how death comes for everyone, each performance the actors will walk on stage oblivious of their role until it is decided by a lottery during the show. Filled with humor, wit and profound insights, the modern play delves into existential questions about life, death, and the choices we make along the way.
