PURSUANT TO FLORIDA STATUTE § 381.00317 ABOUT THE SHOW:The Lightning
Thief (TYA Edition) with music and lyrics by Rob Rokicki and book by Joe
Tracz, is based on the 2005 novel by Rick Riordan. THE LIGHTNING THIEF
is a coming-of-age story. The story of a generation who feel discarded
by their parents, who want to be wanted, who want to be fully seen. This
is the story of a group of friends who find each other, see each other,
protect each other, rage for each other, and become family. With their
powers combined, they must face the impossible and reestablish the
peace.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCTION:
This reimagined musical production is a live, pop punk concert from which the theatrical event will
erupt!
We will channel the inherent theatricality of a live concert to create
Percy, Annabeth, and Grover’s journey to the underworld. Vocally we are
not looking for polished or musical theatre perfection. We are looking
for something grittier and gutsy (while staying true to the demands of
the score). To be clear, we may not be looking for perfection, but we
are looking for excellence
