After 30 electrifying weeks in the West End, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical will conclude its London run at The Other Palace on Sunday 15 June.
Since its opening in November 2024, over 60,000 Demigods and mortals have joined Percy Jackson at Camp Half-Blood for an unforgettable theatrical adventure.
The production’s journey doesn’t end there. A previously announced UK tour will launch in August 2025, with new dates added at Edinburgh Festival Theatre and Birmingham Hippodrome, and more venues to be announced soon.
Based on Rick Riordan’s best-selling novel, The Lightning Thief follows New York teenager Percy Jackson as he discovers he is the half-blood son of Poseidon. Thrust into a mythological world, Percy must navigate newfound powers, ancient monsters, and a destiny he never asked for.
The musical adaptation features a book by Joe Tracz (Be More Chill) and music and lyrics by Rob Rokicki (Monstersongs), with direction and choreography by Lizzi Gee (Groundhog Day).

They are joined by Paisley Billings (SIX), Jazz Evans (Spamalot), Joshua Lay (A Chorus Line), Kenedy Small (SIX), and Xander Pang (Dear Evan Hansen South East Asian premiere), with ensemble members Philip Catchpole, Owen Lloyd, Rachel Moran, Greg Stylinou-Burns, and Alex Waxman.
The creative team also includes Ryan Dawson Laight (set and costume design), Charlie Morgan Jones (lighting), Dominic Bilkey (sound), Duncan McLean (video), Richard Pinner (illusions), Lisa Connell (fight direction), and Laura Cubitt (puppet direction).
