When 16-year-old 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 can’t control, a destiny he doesn’t want and a whole mythology textbook’s worth of mythical monsters on his tail, 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.
Adapted from Rick Riordan’s best-selling novel by Joe Tracz, writer of Be More Chill, and with an electrifying rock score by Rob Rokicki, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is the perfect adventure for gods and mortals alike.

What to expect at the Sensory Friendly Performance:
At our sensory friendly performance, we encourage audience members to be completely themselves in order to feel comfortable – feel free to make sounds, move your body, fidget, stim and use noise-cancelling headphones.
We will not use bells in the foyer area to announce show time, instead have staff give verbal indication that it is time for patrons to find their seats in the auditorium. The Don Craig Room will be open as a dedicated quiet space for patrons and will have dim lighting to assist those needing a space away from the busy and noisy foyer.
During the performance, lighting will remain on in the auditorium at a dim level, and the volume of the show and sound effects will be lower as well to accommodate those with sensory sensitivities.
We will have a pre-show welcome where the main characters will come out on stage and introduce themselves and will explain some of the effects of the show (e.g. smoke, sound effects), particularly highlighting scenes that may have higher sensory impact.
We hope that the inclusion of a sensory friendly performance means that more people can comfortably access the theatre and see this wonderful show.
We look forward to welcoming you.
