When New York City teenager Percy Jackson discovers that he is the half-blood son of the Greek god, Poseidon, his life takes a dramatic turn as he is plunged into a world much bigger than he could possibly have imagined.

With newly discovered powers he is unable to control, an unwanted destiny and a whole textbook’s worth of mythical monsters on his trail, Percy must learn what it means to be a hero.

The future of the world hangs in the balance as Percy and his friends embark on an epic adventure that will have you on the edge of your seat.

This dynamic musical adaptation of Rick Riordan’s bestselling The Lightning Thief has a book by Joe Tracz, music and lyrics by Rob Rokicki, and is directed and choreographed by Lizzi Gee, with set and costume design by Ryan Dawson Laight, lighting by Charlie Morgan Jones, sound by Dominic Bilkey, video design by Duncan McLean, illusions by Richard Pinner, puppet direction by Laura Cubitt, musical supervision by Jeremy Wootton, and musical direction by Ben McQuigg.
