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.
