A 'The Lightning Thief' Musical Appreciation Post (and recommending a documentary-of-sorts)

Message to all you TLT: The Musical fans out there! Just watched the new documentary-of-sorts by Wait in the Wings about the production of TLT and its journey through from small 1-hour play for middle schools to (still underrated) Broadway production, and I cannot recommend it enough! It has interview excerpts from Joe Tracz, Rob Rokicki, Stephen Brackett and Kristin Stokes as well, and both Kristin Stokes and Chris McCarrell have praised it if that helps your expectations.

Always nice to see this musical appreciated online and elsewhere, in all its camp glory. To all the TLT musical fans out there who have also been here and treasured this show and the community surrounding it, perhaps the real lightning thief was the friends we made along the way. Always glad to have found this community :)

Quick message for Percy Jackson fans that haven't seen the musical yet: Well, you might be wondering what to do after you've watched the TV series and boy do I have the content for you. This is a great musical for anyone whose a fan of the books; having beared the brunt of negative expectations after the unspeakable movies came out, this musical still captured people with its fun charm and emotional core for good reason. The soundtrack is out everywhere pretty much, it might not be your kind of media but I'd still give it a shot (particularly if you're into musicals)! I know I haven't gone into much detail here about why this musical works, although I'd like to say more someday; if you want more information, plenty of people on Tumblr have said things about it and the video above does go into why this musical is/was so loved by fans of it. For now I'll just say that it is very genuine and heartwarming, taking the emotional core of the Lightning Thief novel and adapting it for the stage in a way that commemorates and stays true to the novel (even with references to the rest of the novels in there, such as a Bianca di Angelo cameo in the Lotus Casino!).

Anyways, quick post here, just another reminder to always appreciate the TLT musical. Cheers!

#Youtube #this is just an appreciation post man #always willing to give 3 cheers for the lightning thief musical #so many people have forgotten this gem in the run-up to the TV series and I am here to remind everyone whether they like it or not #with PJO getting popular again hopefully this fun musical gets a bit more recognition too amongst Percy Jackson fans #I hope it has/will atleast! #tlt musical #tlt #pjo #percy jackson #pjo tv show #wait in the wings #riordanverse #musicals #musical theatre #pjo adaptation #appreciation post #posts originating from my brain

Hey guys, I need your attention for two seconds:

The YouTube channel Wait in the Wings needs your help.

If you don't know who he is, Brendon creates videos that highlight the many various elements of Broadway; from epic flops like Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark to intricate details like the ins and outs of the Phantom Chandelier. His videos are masterful and the amount of work he puts in is incredible. I transcribe subtitles for this channel, and it has been an honor and a pleasure doing so.

In order to continue such amazing work though, he needs a lot of support. He launched a kickstarter about a month ago, and today (8/15) is the last day to donate.

Please consider giving to this channel and help keep theater history alive! There's plenty of rewards still available, so don't wait till they're gone!

If you can't donate, please reblog and share with everyone else. The more eyes on it, the better.

Thank you everyone, this means a lot to me ❤️

EDIT: Thank you for all the support y'all! He ended the kickstarter with a solid 37k, and I can't thank you enough! If you haven't already, check out his channel and join his Patreon to support more!

Wait in the Wings did 'A Drunk Recap of Cats 2019' and I really need to watch it. It's basically just him doing a beat by beat recap (not review because he already did one and it's really good. go watch it) of it and he does a great job describing how insane this movie is when an average person watches it. But I think he's actually drunk during it. I don't know but the video is great so watch it.

The only downside is that he skips over Skimbleshanks which is the best song/performance of the entire move and it make me sad.

What I’ve learned watching Wait in the Wings is that musical theater need to either embrace pro-shots and streaming or accept the fact that they’re a niche medium dominated by weirdos.

Like, if Musical Theater wants to be function as a mainstream medium it needs to reach mainstream audiences, including those who will never set foot in New York; otherwise they have to come to terms with the fact that most people can’t go to the theater and those who do so regularly are wealthy and think something like Groundhog Day the Musical is a normal thing to exist
