Hit London musical The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is heading out on a UK tour in 2025.

The show is currently playing at The Other Palace theatre in London, booking to 31 August 2025.

The UK tour will start at the Theatre Royal Windsor on 15 August 2025, and then play Newcastle, Milton Keynes, Liverpool, Brighton, Stoke-on-Trent, Coventry, Bradford, and London Wimbledon, with more dates into 2026 to be announced.

Casting for the tour is also to be confirmed.

It’s currently unclear whether the London production and tour will be two separate productions, or the same production.

The Lightning Thief is about New York City teenager Percy Jackson, who discovers that he is the half-blood son of the Greek god, Poseidon. His life takes a dramatic turn as he is plunged into a world much bigger than he could possibly have imagined.

The London show currently stars Morgan Gregory (Back to the Future) as Percy Jackson, with Lizzy-Rose Esin-Kelly (Grease, Frozen) as Annabeth, and Angus Benstead (Blippi) as Grover.

The cast also includes Paisley Billings (Six The Musical) as Sally Jackson/Medusa, Jazz Evans (Spamalot) as Mr Brunner/Poseidon/Hades, Joshua Lay (A Chorus Line) as Mr D, Kenedy Small (Six The Musical) as Clarisse, and Xander Pang (Dear Evan Hansen) as Luke/Ares; and the ensemble will include Philip Catchpole (The Book of Mormon), Alex Waxman, Owen Lloyd (Girl from the North Country) and Rachel Moran (Just For One Day).

Max Harwood originated the role of Percy Jackson in this London production, leaving at the start of this month.

The Lightning Thief is based on the best-selling Percy Jackson book series by Rick Riordan, with over 180 million copies sold worldwide, and adaptations including hit films and a Disney+ TV series.

The Lightning Thief has a book by Joe Tracz (Be More Chill), and music and lyrics by Rob Rokicki (Monstersongs).

This new production is directed and choreographed by Lizzi Gee (Groundhog Day), and the musical director is Ben McQuigg (The Power of Camelot).

The wider creative team includes set and costume design by Ryan Dawson Laight (My Son’s A Queer But What Can You Do?) lighting design by Charlie Morgan Jones (Derren Brown – Showman), sound design by Dominic Bilkey (The Lehman Trilogy), video design by Duncan McLean (Shrek The Musical), illusions by Richard Pinner (Here You Come Again), fight direction by Lisa Connell (Heathers) and puppet direction by Laura Cubitt (A Monster Calls).

Further creatives for the tour are to be announced.

Producer Paul Taylor-Mills said in a statement:“We’re thrilled to bring Percy Jackson’s epic journey to more UK audiences following the success we’ve had in London. This show is full of energy, humour, and heart—whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the world of Camp Half-Blood, you’re in for an unforgettable adventure.”

The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is playing at The Other Palace theatre to 31 August 2025, and touring from 15 August 2025.
