The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical had its U.K. premiere at the Other Palace in London, beginning November 23, with the run set to continue through February 2, 2025, Playbill reported. Directed and choreographed by Lizzi Gee, the production features a book by Joe Tracz and songs by Rob Rokicki. It is adapted from Rick Riordan's bestselling book series.
The cast includes Max Harwood, Scott Folan, Jessica Lee, Paisley Billings, Greg Barnet, Joe Allen, Samantha Mbolekwa, Joaquin Pedro Valdes, Philip Catchpole, Morgan Gregory, Charlotte O'Rourke, and Alex Waxman.
Playbill noted that the staging is not a remount of previous U.S. productions, which included an Off-Broadway version in 2017, a U.S. tour, and a brief Broadway run in 2019.
