THE LIGHTNING THIEF: THE PERCY JACKSON MUSICAL
JULY 1 – AUGUST 6, 2023
Book by Joe Tracz | Music and Lyrics by Rob Rockicki
Adapted from the book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
This performance is made possible in part by a generous grant from the Russell Hill Rogers Fund for the Arts.
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).
