The demigods have officially taken over The Other Palace with the electrifying new musical Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. Based on Rick Riordan's beloved book series, with a script by Joe Tracz and music and lyrics by Rob Rokicki, this production has been eagerly anticipated by fans of the books.
It does not disappoint. Rokicki's score is inventive and energetic, perfectly matching the pace and spirit of Riordan's world. The staging is clever, the special effects inventive given the constraints of The Other Palace, and the young cast are excellent throughout.
A joyful, faithful adaptation. The fans will love it and newcomers will be gripped.
