Directed and choreographed by Lizzi Gee, the production began previews November 22, 2024, and officially opened November 28. The musical has a book by Tracz and songs by Rokicki. Bill Kenwright Ltd and Paul Taylor-Mills present the London bow.
The rock musical follows teenager Percy Jackson, who discovers he's the half-blood son of Greek god Poseidon. The musical was originally developed by TheatreWorks USA as an hour-long musical for young audiences, with the full-length version debuting Off-Broadway in 2017. Following a U.S. tour, the musical got a brief Broadway run in 2019. This staging is not a remount of the U.S. productions.
