So Percy is a demigod! No sooner has he arrived at Camp Half-Blood, the refuge for the children of the gods, than chaos breaks out. Zeus’s thunderbolt has been stolen, and Percy, of all people, is under suspicion. To prove his innocence and prevent a devastating war amongst the gods, Percy embarks on an epic adventure.

Mythology Meets Rock

With over 180 million books sold worldwide, Percy Jackson is a global phenomenon. In his series, author Rick Riordan blends Greek mythology with modern coming-of-age drama. Driven by an energetic rock score by Rob Rokicki, Joe Tracz’s musical perfectly captures the humorous, rebellious and emotional tone of the original novels. The musical celebrated its acclaimed world premiere in New York in 2014. In 2019, it made the leap to Broadway.
