“‘Percy Jackson Musical’ Hits Sweet Spot Off-Broadway”
—The Wall Street Journal

Delivers a lot more fun than the big-budget movie versions and proves far more enjoyable than the misbegotten film version. A tuneful, pop-rock score, that’s just as funny for adults as children. Forget the helicopter in Miss Saigon; what this show does with simple rolls of toilet paper and leaf blowers proves far more fun
—The Hollywood Reporter

“4 out of 5 Stars. Worthy of the gods. Its campy humor, clever no-tech effects, and agreeable pop-rock tunes, offers pleasures fore mere mortal grown-ups, too.”

I’m very pleased to share the full press release below.

Now you’re thinking: What? Who? How? Huh? Seriously, Percy Jackson dancing and singing on stage?

Yep, it’s true! Previous stagings of this play have gotten rave reviews from even hard-core Percy Jackson book fans, and now the play is getting the full Off-Broadway treatment! Chris McCarrell is a great casting choice for Percy, don’t you think?

Full disclosure: I haven’t seen the play myself, but that is just my own personal quirk. I get weirded-out seeing or hearing adaptations of my written work. I can’t listen to my audiobooks. And the movies . . . well, as you may know, I never saw them, thank the gods. I haven’t seen the play either, but I can heartily endorse it based on feedback from the people I care about most — my readers. They have found it to be a fun, faithful, hilarious adaptation of Percy’s story. So if you can make an off-Broadway production this spring, check it out! Just beware of gorgons and random bolts of lightning, and be on the lookout for incognito gods in the audience. They love seeing plays about themselves.

“I’ve always had an Off-Broadway heart, so this is such a homecoming for me. And to start it off at the Lortel is an actual dream. Can’t wait to pour all I got into Percy Jackson. He’s going to be quick, bold, and sharp. Young messy demigod finding his way? I’m in. Excited to work with the team to make this innovative, magical and heartfelt show our own.”Chris McCarrell

“Our initial production of The Lightning Thief, was a huge critical and audience success, and continues to gather fans around the country. But, honestly condensing the novel into an hour was challenging; the dream was always to make this production bigger and better, to flesh out characters, deepen relationships and include more of the quest –and that’s just what we’ve done. We could not be more thrilled by this updated version, with some great new songs, a second act and a larger cast. And to top it all off, we could not be more excited to have Chris McCarrell as our Percy, he has that perfect combination of charm and talent to make this show exciting and entertaining for all ages.”Theatreworks NYC, Barbara Pasternack
