Curtain Up
A lavish stage musical of the first Percy Jackson book is coming
WORDS: STEVE O’BRIEN
IF YOU’VE BEEN suffering Percy Jackson withdrawal symptoms since the TV adaptation of The Lightning Thief aired in December 2023, rest assured you’ll be able to get your fix of all things Olympian when a musical version of Rick Riordan’s book hits the West End this November.
Adapted by Joe Tracz, who also worked on the Disney+ TV series, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical originally premiered off-Broadway in 2014, but it’s only now – 10 years on – that it’s made its way to London, and Tracz couldn’t be prouder.
