Ethan Kintsler gave a strong performance as Mr. The plot is fast-paced, and the audience is quickly treated to Percy’s first interaction with a mythical creature (a Minotaur) and his arrival at Camp Half Blood, a safe haven for the result of gods and humans, shall we say, intermingling.

Murphy’s Percy connects with the audience and is delightful to watch throughout the musical. We learn that Percy is living with his single mom and smelly stepfather in “Strong,” where one phrase from the lyrics sets up a key message for the rest of the musical: being normal is a myth.

Reid Murphy as Percy perfectly captures a frustrated kid who’s sweet, but annoyed at, well, everything. The Lightning Thief is full of catchy rock n’ roll music, starting with the opening number, “The Day I Got Expelled.” The middle school–style angst is evident right away.

The musical, which is adapted from the book and originally commissioned, created, and produced Off-Broadway by TheaterWorks USA, is directed here by TJ Lukacsina as a slightly edgy yet still sweet story of a boy who finds out he’s actually a demi-god, known as a “half-blood.” Fans of Rick Riordan’s book The Lightning Thief will be delighted with Silhouette Stages’ The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, playing at Slayton House Theater through October 23.
