Upper School set to astound in "The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical!"

The cast and crew of The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical! will bring the magical tale of Greek gods, monsters, and quests to life in the Hale Theater tonight, Feb. 21, and Saturday, Feb. 22, for the Upper School's winter production. Tickets are still available for purchase.

The Lightning Thief, which first made its way to the stage in 2014 debuting off-Broadway, quickly became a beloved musical amongst young people who found comfort and inspiration in its themes of courage, friendship, and discovering one's core of integrity. With an original cast of only seven, the Upper School's telling required the teamwork and creative energy of more than 75 students in all aspects of the production.
