The music and lyrics by composer Rob Rokicki are upbeat, varied and, like the book by Joe Tracz, infused with humor and a fun, campy, and somewhat self-deprecating tone.

When it's discovered that someone has stolen Zeus' lightning rod, and Percy finds it in his backpack, so he's targeted by the Gods and various monsters who believe he's the thief, he, along with his friends Grover and Annabeth, go on a quest to return the lightning, clear Percy's name, and prevent a war between the gods. Percy ends up at Camp Half-Blood, a safe harbor for the half-blood children to learn how to fight and protect themselves from the monsters in the world who want to do them harm, where he realizes that there are many other kids like him.

Like the book, the plot of the musical follows the story of Percy Jackson as he discovers that he is a 'half-blood,' the son of a mortal parent and a Greek god.

With a cast who deliver winning performances of these archetypical characters, an abundance of high-soaring musical numbers, and plenty of humor, Spotlight Youth Theatre's production is a knock-out. It's a fun coming-of-age musical that both fans of the books (or of the two film adaptations) and fans of fantasy and teen angst will enjoy. Based on the first book in Rick Riordan's 'Percy Jackson & the Olympians' series of young adult novels, the musical adaptation, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, is set in a world where Greek gods are real, they have kids, and their kids have issues. There have been dozens of fantasy books that have been adapted into films and TV shows, but hardly any that have been turned into stage productions.
