ABOUT THE SHOW:

The Lightning Thief (TYA Edition) with music and lyrics by Rob Rokicki and book by Joe Tracz, is based on the 2005 novel by Rick Riordan.

THE LIGHTNING THIEF is a coming-of-age story. The story of a generation who feel discarded by their parents, who want to be wanted, who want to be fully seen. This is the story of a group of friends who find each other, see each other, protect each other, rage for each other, and become family. With their powers combined, they must face the impossible and reestablish the peace.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCTION:

This reimagined musical production is a live, pop punk concert from which the theatrical event will erupt! We will channel the inherent theatricality of a live concert to create Percy, Annabeth, and Grover’s journey to the underworld.

Vocally we are not looking for polished or musical theatre perfection. We are looking for something grittier and gutsy (while staying true to the demands of the score). To be clear, we may not be looking for perfection, but we are looking for excellence.

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bnigof0xh7xkaa1/AAD7SefsYdyRoOnZ95H9FCT3a?dl=0 OR 16-32 bars of a pop/rock or contemporary musical theatre song that shows your range).

SEEKING

:

(IMMEDIATELY)

ANNABETH CHASE – Singer in the band. Daughter of Athena. Overqualified but unseen. She is over being invisible. Learning to live unapologetically in her brilliance, she is unwilling to hide her black girl magic. She got it from her mama. Embracing the hypervisibility inherent in her identity with expressive hair that will never fit under a hat. Strong pop-rock high belter.
