The Lightning Thief musical, based on Rick Riordan's book, has been called a cross between Harry Potter and Dear Evan Hansen, which may be one of the reasons why legions of fans are flocking to see the show as it makes away across the country.

Earlier this year, the show launched a national tour. The tour will stop at the Durham Performing Arts Center this week.
