Review: THE LIGHTNING THIEF at West Valley Arts is Satisfyingly Exhilarating
by Tyler Hinton - June 13, 2024


There are three big reasons to see THE LIGHTNING THIEF at West Valley Arts: 1. The show is a hidden gem with an exhilarating pop score that adults, teens, and kids can all enjoy together. 2. As always, West Valley Arts has put on a fabulous production in one of the best theatrical venues in the state. 3. After a heart-stopping narrow miss in which the West Valley Performing Arts Center was almost doomed to demolition, they still need all the support that can be mustered to show the city council and community why this space and these people are doing something important.
