THE LIGHTNING THIEF, The Percy Jackson Musical is the musical adaptation of Rick Riordan’s best selling book. As the half-blood son of a Greek god, Percy Jackson has newly-discovered powers he can't control, a destiny he doesn't want, and a mythology textbook's worth of monsters on his trail. When Zeus's master lightning bolt is stolen and Percy becomes the prime suspect, he has to find and return the bolt to prove his innocence and prevent a war between the gods. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the thief. He must travel to the Underworld and back; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and come to terms with the father who abandoned him.
THE LIGHTNING THIEF features a talented cast, composed of 13 students between the ages of twelve and seventeen. Cast members of THE LIGHTNING THIEF reside in Wellesley as well as other communities including Natick Needham, Newton, Weston, and Wayland. THE LIGHTNING THIEF, The Percy Jackson Musical is written by Joe Tracz, with music and lyrics by Rob Rokicki and is adapted from the book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.

Jess Harms, Director
David Wright, Music Director
Nadine Sa, Stage Manager
