Harry Potter has the proverbial cast of thousands, while The Lightning Thief has a scant lackluster cast of seven portraying a cast of thousands, except for Percy the remaining six players portray multiple roles, which further adds to the mayhem. At this point I was yearning to be at the Lyric Theatre revisiting the far superior Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, both Parts 1 and 2 being less convoluted. In the end, Percy or Percius finds out that his father is Poseidon and must return the lightning bolt found in his nap sack he then must decide whether he wants to live at Camp Half Blood and go on more quests or go into the real world and fight for meaningful things. Well, they are in Hades, fight all sorts of monsters, among them Medusa and other foes. Part two gives us the trip to Hadestown-oh, sorry, that is another musical playing across the street at the Walter Kerr Theatre. She shows him powers to enable him to go down to the underworld where they both get to find their “God” parents. Annabeth (Kristin Stokes) befriends him there. Camp Half Blood is the place where misplaced children go to find their prospective Greek God parents. His mother (Jalynn Steele) sends him to Camp Half Blood in Long Island accompanied by his best friend Grover (Jorrel Javier). Percy Jackson (Chris McCarrell), your typical misunderstood “teenager,” gets expelled from school for killing a “gorgon” or something while on a school outing. Olympus, and Hades, all taking place from Long Island, New York, random names in New Jersey, to somewhere in Los Angeles and places in between. Not only the boy in me had problems comprehending the ancient Greek Gods and myths the adult in me was confounded by all the machinations on earth, Mt. As in the earlier debacle by director Stephen Brackett, Be More Chill, which also had adults playing young teenagers, the ability to suspend disbelief vanished into thin air. Within five minutes of the show, that poor boy withered away and the monstrous adult in me emerged full-blown. Knowing that this show is aimed at younger/teenage boys or Generation Z, all day long I have been channeling my inner 13-year-old self to be able to fairly assess The Lightning Thief.
