The central figure is dressed in a dramatic, textured, black shaggy costume with a large hood and sunglasses, exuding a powerful and mysterious presence. They are confidently posing or gesturing, drawing attention to themselves. In the background, other performers are visible, some partially covered in translucent fabric that resembles veils or ethereal cloaks, contributing to the surreal and mystical aesthetic. The set design includes curved structures with abstract, colorful patterns. The overall atmosphere is magical and otherworldly, suggesting a fantasy or mythological theme.

On the left, a character dressed casually in rugged, adventure-style clothing, including jeans, a hoodie, and a backpack, is kneeling on the ground. They are holding out a seashell with a serious or pleading expression, suggesting they are making an offering or requesting help. On the right, a cheerful character with shoulder-length hair, dressed in bright, tropical-themed clothing (a blue shirt with sailboats and matching blue shorts), is kneeling on one knee. They appear relaxed and smiling, suggesting a playful or friendly interaction. The backdrop features a large circular portal framed by aquatic, wave-like patterns and shades of blue and green. Blue stage smoke enhances the oceanic theme, creating a surreal and adventurous atmosphere. The scene likely conveys a moment of negotiation, humor, or revelation within a fantastical setting.

A circular, metallic portal with glowing purple and blue accents serves as the central stage element. Inside the portal, a performer is dramatically posed, dressed in a flowing, shimmery white costume with a translucent veil covering their head. They are holding their arms wide, conveying power or mystical influence, with a glowing orb or circular prop placed near their chest. The backdrop behind them resembles a star-filled, cosmic scene, enhancing the ethereal and celestial atmosphere. In the foreground, another performer sits on the floor, looking up with a mixture of awe and fear, emphasizing the magical or intense nature of the moment. The overall mood is otherworldly and intense, suggesting a dramatic revelation or encounter.

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.
