"We're usually about to die."

This sums everything up. All RR books. EVERYTHING

All I ever wanted was to see a good percy jackson movie



I'm probably not going to see this but I desperately want to

[vntagecassette]

I spent a solid ten minutes going through this frame by frame to make sure I didn't miss anything.

I saw this live yesterday, it’s incredible and the actors are all so talented and kind! I stagedoored and I even got to meet Chris (Percy) and Kristine (Annabeth)!!! If you have a chance to see it ever do it.

[livclark]

Is it just me, or does the musical actually have better effects than the movie?

[sabby]

Wish I could audition for such an amazing show, but I’d never come close to this amazing talent!! Totally wish I could see this musical!

I saw it in a school field trip yesterday and it was awesome. They didn't leave out any details from the books- even though a lot of stuff was combined into the songs which might make it a bit harder for people who've never read the books to understand, but it was really funny and genuine. There were only a few actors but they managed to play several roles and do it CONVINCINGLY. Chris (Percy) is a really great actor and his singing is 💯, same for Kristin (Annabeth). Grover was really funny, and we actually had a talk backstage with him and some other members of the cast (Clarisse, Chiron). They were all really nice and genuine, and the experience was altogether one I'm not likely to forget anytime soon.

Only saw it a few days ago on Broadway NYC and I LOVED it. It has lots of humour in it and lots of songs which were the main way of showing key events which were good. The songs were so catchy and somewhat emotional when needed to be. Everyone’s acting was great and they played each character perfectly. My personal favourite was Percy himself and of course Mr D as they were so funny, energetic and overall truly performed greatly. I highly recommend it even if you don’t like musicals as I’m not a huge fan of them myself but I thoroughly enjoyed it 👍🏻

you dont understand how quickly i will watch this if it comes out

[kaelynhall]

the CHILLS i get every time i hear bring on the monsters is insane. like every time i get very intense chills and i love it

We just did this musical with our local community theatre. And even though I was only there to help move props on and off stage, every single time we ran the show it was like getting to be a part of one of my favorite books from my childhood.

I saw this musical, and HOLY COW it's good! The singing and acting is amazing even for such a small stage and scenery. Everyone is incredibly talented, from the actors to the people playing instruments on the side. Great show. They usually come out at the end, but it was raining and the actors unfortunately didn't come out. It's fine though. I LOVE Rick Riordan's books, especially Percy Jackson. I would rate it a 9.5. Some parts were hilarious, and the script was awesome! Would definitely recommend!

You don’t have the slightest idea on how much I wanna see this...
Where r my non-American peeps?

[noip]

completely recommend this musical to all fans of the book, this is the adaptation you've been waiting for! it's super fun and a wonderful experience, the songs are great, and all of the monsters look amazing.

[parke_rrrr]

I wish I had the courage to ask my dad to go to the show that was near me, but now it's too late, even tho he would of probably of said no, I would still of had a small chance of seeing this. 😢

[analampis]

(As of writing this, it's been 11 days since closing. And the 2nd tour cast hasn't been announced yet)

Everytime I watch this, I cry... like actually bawl. This cast has and always been my favourite mostly bc I've seen them both on tour and on broadway. And the fact that they've been together for an entire year makes me miss them even more💙💙💙
