As the half-blood son of a Greek god, Percy Jackson 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. When Zeus’s master lightning bolt is stolen and Percy becomes the prime suspect, he has to find and return the bolt to prove his innocence and prevent a war between the gods. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the thief. He must travel to the Underworld and back; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and come to terms with the father who abandoned him. Adapted from the best-selling book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan and 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).

Kid cast had the memory of a sponge. Very few missed lines or cues. The toughest thing about this show was our lead Percy was a baritone instead of a tenor so we had to rearrange some of the vocal lines to accomodate.

Also very fortunate to work with some talented bandmates who not only gave me 4 band only sessions - but also joined in another 3-4 rehearsals plus a sitzprobe. Our dress rehearsal run was tight and something I would have been proud of on closing night.

The Gods would have been pleased.
