#the lightning thief musical

[yourmusicmuse]

I was discussing fancasts for a movie musical for The Outsiders with my friend (we were more or less just messing around and it devolved into us just throwing out random actors) and they said Walker Scobell for Ponyboy and Aryan Simhadri for Johnny...but that made me think. I am a huge huge huge fan of The Lightning Thief musical and y'all can't convince me that Brody and Sky wouldn't be a FANTASTIC Percy and Grover!! Maybe Emma for Annabeth? I'm a little more unsure on that one but I don't think it's too crazy. What would I give to hear Brody sing Good Kid and Sky sing The Tree On The Hill....tell me y'all see the vision here!!!!!

found this again and i feel like it's very important Lighting Thief Musical lore to know

[deconstructthesoup]

I think there's something beautifully poetic about this new trend of Greek-myth themed musicals.

The Lightning Thief musical, Hadestown, Stray Gods, Epic---all of these stories are being told at least in part through song, echoing the fact that every single myth that we know was originally told through song. We're essentially reprising the tradition thousands of years down the line, and that's honestly beautiful.

The second I see someone edit Luke with his reprise of Good Kid from the musical it’s gonna be all over for me

Part one of combining every version of PJO characters :)))

Percy and Annabeth!

[tap/click for better quality] It’s pretty self explanatory. Read below the cut for my nerdy art processes.

So obviously, I’m referencing and color-dropping their old official art, new official art, movie, musical and tv show appearances.

Percy’s-

All of the Percy’s seem to have pretty well defined jaw lines and soft cheek bones. Most of them have square or diamond shaped faces, so I leaned into that more. I also realized they have wider nose bridges in addition to the slightly upturned nose so I went with that as well. Pretty much all the Percys’ have thick eyebrows, especially in the front, so I went with more of a taper and more down turned. The eyes pretty consistent. The hair was pretty easy, the textures kind of canceled out back into the his original description of having wavy, despite the OG art not really conveying that at all. Was kind of surprised that Walker’s hair didn’t lighten the combined colors more, as well as his and Logan’s eye color not making the color more blue.

Annabeth’s-

Annabeth’s was pretty interesting, just cause I’ve always associated her with having sharper and more angular features even though all her actresses and official art works have softer and more rounded features. Especially the nose.

Either way most of the annabeth’s cheek bines are lower and softer. She pretty much always has a flat and narrow nose bridge that’s usually much wider at the bottom. Her skin tone ended up being close to what I already use when I draw her- I was pretty shocked it wasn’t darker, but none of the official art shows annabeth as being as tan as she’s described to be. Her hair color was pretty much what I expected, same with her eye color. The hair texture was a little weird for me, cause Leah’s curl pattern is very different from the curl pattern Kristen has when she portrays Annabeth, which are both different from the curl pattern in Viria’s art. Alexandra’s hair is pin straight and OG official art annabeth’s hair is pretty limp except for a few half hearted curls at the bottom. So the hair texture you see was my best attempt at combining them all. Also I put a little braid in her hair to represent her braids in the show. Her eyes, much like all her other features, were a lot more soft and round than I usually draw her as having. I normally picture her with narrow, intense, diamond shapes eyes. A lot of her appearances, despite her description in the books, have big, soft, round eyes- which I thought was actually kinda cute cause she’s so smart and clever and observant that her having these big, round, curious eyes was made sense too.

But yeah. That’s about it. This was really fun and I plan on doing more :)

while I'm talking about tlt musical: sick and twisted to title miss annabeth "I want to be an architect. build something that lasts" chase's solo song 'my grand plan' LIKE WTF. OUCH.

[where-our-stories-start]

[sweetnnaivete]

percabeth is so well done in tlt musical. the lyrical parallels. "someday soon someone will notice me" and annabeth realizes percy noticed her. the bickering like a married couple. percy singing "is she real?" and then in one of the cut songs annabeth sings the same thing but about him UGH. i may or may not be the #1 pjo musical fangirl.

[helpallthenamesaretaken]

I was thinking about if they made a sea of monsters musicals, and here are some song titles i came up with lol (in random order)

The Ballad of the Sirens (basically a bunch of harmonies of the sirens and annabeth singing about her vision with the end of the song being percy singing her out of it (bonus points if he's not harmonising with the sirens)(bonus points if percy calms annabeth down and they have a little harmony of their own but in a different key))

Best Man (im a little foggy about this but probably grovers song with a witty punchline like 'its too early for you to be my best man' while making jokes about asking percy to come to his wedding and save him)(it also ends with "ill come save you" "you're the best, man!")

The Guinea Pig Song (Squeak!) (just a 'lost' type of vibe with percy panic singing accompanied by lot of guinea pig squeaks)

Hangry! (basically the tantalus version of 'another terrible day')

A Good Monster (basically tysons song about how he lived alone on the streets, and about how he prayed to poseidon)(yes it is a direct parallel to good kid)

A Good Monster (Reprise)/My Baby Brother (consider this sung by percy at the end of the chariot race, same tune but happier lyrics about how tyson doesnt need to feel like a monster anymore)

War's Daughter (this is DEFINITELY clarisse's song, it could be her talking to ares or a little rumination after that conversation, talking about her arc and little hints of the prophecy she's not telling to the crew)

greek mythology-based musical save me.......save me greek mythology-based musical.....

Musical!Percy: “All I ever do is take the fall”

Book!Percy: *falls into Tartarus with and for Annabeth a few years later*

[aroaceleovaldez]

random Lightning Thief Musical things i like to talk about a lot:

The instrumentals for Tree On The Hill (Thalia's song) are extremely similar to Green Day's Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life).

Percy's line in The Campfire Song of joking that if he sang it'd "probably cause an avalanche" is a reference to a line in The Last Olympian, when Nico tells Percy they need music to open the path to the Underworld and Percy makes the same comment.

The nickname affectionately given to Kristin Stokes' Annabeth is "Poodlebeth" because of the way she curled her hair for the shows and i think that's fun and cute and the fandom never references it ever which is sad.

When i first listened to the album before I saw the show I thought My Grand Plan took place during the Zoo Truck Scene and not Medusa's Garden and i still think about that a lot and want to make an animatic about it.

I saw the show live twice and one of the times during Put You In Your Place when Annabeth and Clarisse have their little face-off, Clarisse just leaned forward all the way and gave Annabeth a little kiss on the lips before continuing with the rest of the song.
