The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical at Durham Performing Arts Center

BWW Review: For Fans Looking for a Redemptive Adaptation After the Disastrous Movie, THE LIGHTNING THIEF Musical Delivers

I can see where The Lightning Thief musical might be compared to a cross between Harry Potter and Dear Evan Hansen. Based on Rick Riordan's book of the same name, the musical tells the story of Percy Jackson and friends, a group of half-bloods who straddle the line between being half-God and half-mortal, and their quest to become heroes of their own story. In short, the Gods are real, they have kids, and their kids have issues.
