Concord Theatricals acquire licensing rights for The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical

Concord Theatricals has announced the news that it has secured exclusive worldwide stage licensing rights to Joe Tracz and Rob Rokicki’s electrifying Broadway sensation The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical. 

Adapted from the bestselling novel by Rick Riordan, the original musical adaptation is now, as such, available globally for professional and amateur peformance.

As a son of Poseidon, Percy Jackson has newly discovered powers he cannot control, monsters on his trail, and is on a quest to find Zeus’ lightning bolt to prevent a war between the Greek gods. Based on the best-selling novel by Rick Riordan and featuring a thrilling original rock score, The Lightning Thief is an action-packed theatrical adventure about accepting that normal is a myth and embracing the superpowers inside all of us.

The Broadway production played a limited seasonal run at the Longacre Theatre in late 2019. This succeeded a critically acclaimed North American First National Tour.

Joe Tracz said: “I've heard from so many fans asking when The Lightning Thief would be available for licensing, and after Concord's incredible success licensing Be More Chill, I'm thrilled to partner with them again to bring Percy Jackson's epic story to theaters and audiences around the world.” 

Rokicki added: “I’m thrilled that Concord Theatricals will be licensing our show. It’s an incredible platform, and we’re excited to have the opportunity to share this story, that we love so much, with people around the world.”
