The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical to Tour the UK

Get ready, demigods! The hit stage adaptation of Rick Riordan’s bestselling novel, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, is embarking on an electrifying UK tour this autumn, bringing the world of Camp Half-Blood to audiences across the country.

The musical, based on the first book of the beloved series (which has sold over 180 million copies worldwide and been adapted into a major Disney+ TV series), tells the story of New York teenager Percy Jackson, who discovers he is the half-blood son of the Greek god, Poseidon. Plunged into a world of mythical monsters and newfound, uncontrollable powers, Percy and his friends embark on an epic quest where the future of the world hangs in the balance.

Praised by The Times as "A bolt of stage magic. A show that whisks you to another dimension," and by The Guardian for its "Catchy songs, original choreography and a quirky spirit," the show first premiered off-Broadway in 2014 and had a limited run on Broadway in 2019 before a critically acclaimed, record-breaking West End run.

Vasco Emauz (Back To The Future: The Musical) leads the charge as Percy Jackson, joined by Kayna Montecillo (Starlight Express) as the "wise and fearless" Annabeth, and Cahir O’Neill ([title of show]) as the satyr sidekick, Grover.

The main cast also includes Simone Robinson as Sally Jackson, Niall Sheehy as Mr Bruner, Aidan Cutler as Mr D, Ellie-Grace Cousins as Clarisse, and Paolo Micallef (cast following open auditions) as Luke, supported by a dynamic ensemble.

Producer Paul Taylor-Mills expressed excitement, saying, "This show is full of energy, humour, and heart—whether you're a long-time fan or new to the world of Camp Half-Blood, you’re in for an unforgettable adventure.”

The dynamic musical adaptation features a book by Joe Tracz (Be More Chill), music and lyrics by Rob Rokicki (Monstersongs), and is directed and choreographed by Lizzi Gee (Groundhog Day). The creative team also includes set and costume design by Ryan Dawson Laight (Burlesque), lighting design by Tim Deiling (SIX), and sound design by Dan Samson (Heathers The Musical), among others.
