i volunteer at this community theater company and we’re doing The Lightning Thief for our youth so and let me tell you the INSANITY of being a PJO nerd and being able to cast TLT is heady. i looked at 24 teenagers and got to choose who could be Percy, Annabeth, Grover, Luke etc.

holy fuck

friendly reminder that normal is a myth. everyone has issues they're dealing with. and there's a place you need to go, where you belong. where the things that make you different, are the things that make you special. special like your father, yes percy you are special. like food the colour blue, all the things that make you you, are the things that will make you strong. so be strong 🫶🫶

I am of the personal opinion that out of all the adaptations of PJO. INCLUDING THE ONE THE AUTHOR WROTE. The most accurate, true to the story, and entertaining one is, in fact, the musical.

Like c’mon Luke’s Reprise of Good Kid? Normal is a Myth? The Di Angelo Sibling Cameo? Hades being the most homo man to exist??? GOOD KID??

All of Charon’s song is iconic. MY GRAND PLAN???? THE CAMPFIRE SONG?? LOST! ???

Luke’s Song makes me want to cry it gets the essence of his character while still making him sound INSANE. Everyone is characterized to be themselves and funny at the same time. INCLUDING ANNABETH.

And the characters can be played by ANYBODY!!

THE ICONIC QUOTES:

Poseidon *pointing happy*: It’s a seashell

Percy *to the audience*: like I said…weird

-

Hades: And WHYYY…WOUUULD…IIII…WHANT…THAHAT???

-

Bianca(?): Why me and my brother got here just yesterday!! May 1st…

The Gang: Oh

Bianca(?): 1939

Percy: Uh…we can sleep on the road instead!!!

-

Chiron *to himself* Hmmm…well…it could be…the prophecy does state….

Chiron *to Percy*: BUUUUuut I’m sure it’s nothing, have a nice day Percy. *happily trots away*

-

Annabeth: Sexist much??

Percy: Oh no, I love girls… I think they’re very nice.😄

i’m not allowed to think about how the theatre industry treats shows about young neurodivergent people because if I do i’ll start biting people

Every time I remember that technically Pash is John the Baptist, I picture her singing his part from Godspell.

Just a blue haired queer singing “Pre-e-e-pare ye the way of the looooooord!”

The ONE thing that I don't like about TLT musical is the line about Beckendorf cheating on Selena.

BECKENDORF WOULDN'T DO THAT YOU TAKE HIS HOLY NAME OUT OF YOUR DIET-COKE-DRINKING MOUTH YOU SLOBBERING LITTLE BITCH OF A GOD!!!

Every time a show that gets horrible reviews gets nominated for Tony Awards I think about how the Lightning Thief didn't even get nominated in categories in which they were the only musical eligible and my blood boils all over again

[ebony-hawthorne]

do you ever know the lyrics of a song so you start listening to the instruments (non-instrumental) and just decide you're gonna learn an entire musical on piano by ear, even though you don't know how to play the piano but you have one so why the FUCK not

or is that just me?

[exhaustedcaterpillar]

the ONLY way to go on a hot girl walk is listening to an entire musical and not stopping until its done
