Percy Jackson Musical Hits the Road with Electrifying New Production
Rehearsal images have been released for the first-ever UK tour of The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, ahead of its launch at Theatre Royal Windsor on 15 August 2025. The production brings Olympian energy and mythical adventure to theatres across the UK through 2026.
