When the new production of The Lightning Thief opened on the West End, The Times of London hailed the production as “a bolt of stage magic, a show that whisks you to another dimension.” The Guardian praised the show’s “catchy songs, original choreography and a quirky spirit that brings out the directness and humour of Rick Riordan’s mythical quest.” This dynamic musical adaptation of Rick Riordan’s bestselling The Lightning Thief has a book by Joe Tracz (Be More Chill) with music and lyrics by Rob Rokicki (Monstersongs).

Presenting the show in its most complete form to date, the new album features 15 minutes of musical material not on the original cast recording. The recording brings to life the recent record-breaking West End production at The Other Palace, directed and choreographed by Lizzi Gee (Groundhog Day). The new album reflects the updated orchestrations and arrangements first introduced on tour and Broadway but never previously recorded, in addition to cut material restored for the London run, expanded vocal moments, and a larger ensemble. The Lightning Thief album is produced by Michael Croiter, Rob Rokicki, and Ben McQuigg. 

The Lightning Thief: Original London Cast Recording features performances by Max Harwood (Stranger Things: The First Shadow, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie) in the title role of Percy Jackson, Scott Folan (Be More Chill) as Grover, Jessica Lee (The Hunger Games: On Stage) as Annabeth, Paisley Billings (Six) as Sally Jackson, Greg Barnett (The Duchess of Malfi) as Mr. Brunner/Poseidon/Hades, Joe Allen (Charlie & The Chocolate Factory) as Mr. D/Gabe, Samantha Mbolekwa (Dear Evan Hansen) as Clarisse, and Joaquin Pedro Valdes (Heathers The Musical) as Luke/Ares. Philip Catchpole (The Book of Mormon), Morgan Gregory (Newsies), Charlotte O’Rourke (Cruel Intentions) and Alex Waxman, making her professional stage debut, serve as the ensemble.

For the production at The Other Palace, the musical supervisor was Jeremy Wootton (Heathers), and the musical director was Ben McQuigg (Ride the Cyclone), with orchestrations by Wiley DeWeese (MJ, Girl from the North Country) and Rob Rokicki.
