The musical based on Rick Riordan’s bestselling novel, will begin its tour at the Theatre Royal Windsor from 15 – 23 August 2025.
It has been announced that the stage adaptation of The Lightning Thief will be heading to audiences across the country this Autumn.
Following its run in Windsor, the musical will then travel to Newcastle, Milton Keynes, Liverpool, Brighton, Stoke-on-Trent, Coventry, Bradford, and Wimbledon with more venues and dates to be announced.
When New York City teenager 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 is unable to control, an unwanted destiny and a whole textbook’s worth of mythical monsters on his trail, 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.
While casting has yet to be announced, the musical features a book by Joe Tracz (Be More Chill), music and lyrics by Rob Rokicki (Monstersongs) and is directed and choreographed by Lizzi Gee (Groundhog Day).
Based on the book series, Percy Jackson’s story has been adapted into both films and a major hit TV series for Disney+. It first premiered as a musical Off-Broadway in 2014 and went on to have two US tours, another off-Broadway run in 2017 and a 16-week limited run on Broadway in 2019. Since November 2024, The Lightning Thief has been performing in London, receiving critical acclaim and will continue at The Other Palace until the 31st August 2025.
Talking about the news of the tour, Paul Taylor-Mills (Producer) said: “We’re thrilled to bring Percy Jackson’s epic journey to more UK audiences following the success we’ve had in London. This show is full of energy, humour, and heart—whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the world of Camp Half-Blood, you’re in for an unforgettable adventure.”
