The Percy Jackson Musical is what got me into this wonderful fandom. I listened to it a few times, and then said "screw it, I'll read the book". For once, I didn't look back.
The wittlest minotaur was a joke song because the girl who played annabeth had to play the minotaur at one point and she's short so they made the song backstage and recorded it for the meme
I love all of this musical but last day of summer, my grand plan, the campfire song, pick a side and another terrible day just hit to another level it’s insane
My tier list PLAY THIS AT MY FUNERAL: Campfire song, Good kid, Lost, My grand plan, In the same boat. ON REPEAT ALL DAY: Prologue, Minotaur/Weirdest Dream GOOD JAM: Strong, Another Terrible day, Put you in your play, The last day of summer GOOD SONG BUT SKIP: Their sign, The oracle, Killer quest, Drive, Son of poseidon, Bring on the monsters, Tree on the hill. SKIP: DOA, The weirdest dream reprise
Son of Posidon is him gaining his confidence in himself and accepting who he is. He finds out after Campfire Song, and is just like, "Yeah, cool. So I'm still like everyone else, right?"(Paraphrasing)
For The son of posiden it’s Percy realizing that his dad gave him a way to get out of the underworld and also he’s not trying to avoid that he’s a demigod anymore he’s like fully coming into his identity
Did anyone realize Bianca Di Angelo was in the play she’s the one Percy asked how long she had been there and she said her and her brother had been there since 1939 in the song drive
Also there’s take the weight which was cut. My slight obsession with Annabeth immediately puts this song in play this at my funeral. I’ve always loved how that song would fit Annabeth in any of the books except for TLT, but it was written for TLT. The irony.
I know this video was a year ago, but i have so share my knowledge on “The Wittlest Minotaur” So basically, they wanted to make the minotaur scary in the minotaur scene, so they had this idea where all the actors stacked on top of each other to create this giant minotaur. So, the actor of Annabeth was on the top and wore a gigantic minotaur head but when they werent stacked into a minotaur she was just walking around with a giant minotaur head, so they kept joking like “aw its the wittlest minotaur” So, basically, “The Wittlest Minotaur” is just an inside joke between the cast that they turned into a song 😂
The musical was actually the reason I gotten to the Percy Jackson fandom. I am an obsessive theatre kid, and I found this musical one day by scrolling through my playlist. It was the campfire song, which I would write as a skit but still a good song. It just gets on my nerves. Some of your choices I thought were interesting. Another terrible day is a song I would honestly have on repeat for years. I just love this whole album except for maybe like the oracle you’re right about that one. That’s a bit weird. But you did a really good job
The only reason Strong isn't my favorite track is because it's practically a seven way tie on this soundtrack. But I'm probably not the median fandom or demographic either - 50, parent, public school teacher, child with needs... Also, Carrie Compere has a God -tier belt, so The Oracle and D.O.A. (also the musical references in D.O.A. are the music styles I grew up with) are also just as high for me as the usual suspects. Maybe another generational difference is that I always listen to the whole album, or even a video of the stage performance in the background, never just specific tracks or tracks on shuffle.
In "Son of Poseidon", I don't think percy is literally just discovering his parentage, rather he's just now accepting it. I like to think of it as Poseidon claimed percy as his at camp halfblood, and this song is percy claiming poseidon as his father.
You don't understand how OBSESSED i am with percy jackson, i just can't stop thinking about it all day, i want ALL THE BOOKS NOW (but haha, i don't have money-) and i CAN'T EXPLAIN how much i love the campfire song, i listen to it everytime i can, i create my own parts for different gods if i were their daughter, I LOVE GREEK MYTHOLOGY AHHH-
So I know your rankings for the official songs but what about the unofficial ones? Right off the bat, I remember liking "Try" a lot and "Pick a side" has some interesting harmonies and mixed lyrics.
I didn't know about those at the time of the video, but now I do and I LOVE THEM! Try is a very beautiful song, Pick a side is totally EPIC I'll never complain about getting more from musical Luke, and On the same boat is super funny and percabeth heavy so I love it, although I also love Drive
@Unclaimeddemigod So where would they be ranked on the list. For me, Try is on the play at my funeral ranking. I'm aware it's a slower song, and you tend to gravitate towards the faster jams, but that's where I'd personally place it. With Pick a side, I'd put it in the on repeat all day ranking. No explanation necessary. I don't like On the Same Boat as well as the others despite the fact that it is still a good song, so I'd place in the Good but skip category. So, what are your rankings?
About the 'son of Posiden' song, Percy found out he was the son of Posiden after the campfire song, but the song 'Son of Posiden' is about percy accepting that Posiden is his dad and choosing to fight for him. In 'killer quest', he says he is going to go on the quest to save his mom, not to help his dad, but in 'Son of Posiden' he says "and now I'll make this right, for me and for my dad." The song exists to show how percy accepts posiden as his father, and to show how his opinion on his dad has changed. I hope this makes sense.
Percy was actually claimed after the campfire song. I was confused too and I figured that son of Poseidon is just him receiving a seashell? (in the books there were 3 beads, i believe) to let him escape and then his fight with Ares.
If you watch this one video of the cast singing the songs live, you’ll hear the original of The Wittlest Minotaur, it was never actually going to be in the show, it was basically a joke between the cast and crew.
Chris McCarrel is so talented! I am still mad at how the Tonys made everything in their power to not nominated him for leading actor in a musical when he literally was one of the ONLY TWO available options this year. LIKE THEY JUST NOMINATED ONE PERSON. WHY? TLT was the only musical with an original score this year and the Tonys went out of their way to change the rules and not nominated them :( They didn't need to win but a nomination would've been nice.
@@Unclaimeddemigod Well, we’re back, it was pretty good. A little corny and we may have laughed at each other’s parts a few hundred times but we all enjoyed it.
Thanks so much for doing this!! I agree with most of what you said, but since I’ve only listened to the musical and not actually seen it in person I guess I can’t really say. I sure you can get to 2k subs by mid July. I hope that happpens for you cause you deserve it.
Sorry for the year later message, but I just wanted to say that yes, you are one hundred percent missing context for Son of Poseidon. Percy knew he was a son of Poseidon of course. In the musical it is immediately after the end of Campfire Song. Son of Poseidon is the flipside of Good Kid. Where in that song, Percy resents Poseidon and everyone who puts him down constantly, in Son of Poseidon he is accepting that, yeah, Poseidon hasn't been there for him, but truly cares, enough to give him an out in his most desperate moment. Percy is accepting his identity as Poseidons son and using that new confidence to escape both Hades and Ares
The wittlest minotaur is a joke song. Because one of the actors just had the minotaur head on and the joke got started and they made a joke song about it. One if the sets on RUclips that plays the full musical explains that
I'd say I agree with most of your picks except I'd put Strong a bit higher. But I SO agree with the Play This At My Funeral tier. Good Kid and My Grand Plan? Perfect examples of "I want"/ just general character songs. And with Last Day of Summer, I usually skip the beginning part because of Luke's GOSH DARN GOOD KID REPRISE. IT'S SO GOOD!!! I legit don't know how the series is going to pull the reveal off after that song, but I'd be surprised if whatever they do lives up to that. LOL sorry for ranting. I needed to rant about the amazingness that is Luke's reprise.
My Grand Plan may work as a good I Want song for Annabeth, but I just don't think it's musically appealing. It's just very shouty in a lot of places and I can't imagine any voice making it really sound great.
Got to see the musical and meet the cast- Chris McCarrell (Percy) is my favorite human. There’s a great video of the cast doing a concert of the musical at a restaurant/bar in New York City. You get to see a taste of what the musical is like and the cast interacting with each other is HILARIOUS
i recently watched/listened to the musical for the 1st time and im obsessed, like how dis i never watch it before? i love th cast even tho they’re a bit old, it doesnt feel as wierd as in the movies. also, i read somewhere that they where supposed to do the show again in 2021 but it got cancelled cuz of covid, so i hope they’ll reprogram it cuz they know ill fly half way across the world to watch it also, i found it on yt, someone filmed one of the representations, and even tho the quality isnt great, its better than nothing :) also i totally agree with strong. i think my favorite songs are good kid, my grand plan, drive, the last day of summer and bring on the monsters. also, the whole son of poseidon song is ab percy accepting his dads help and realizing that even if he wasnt present when he was a kid, he is now and thats better than nothing, and now hes embracing that!! anyways, as always, love you and your video and tour energy in this one is just 👌🏻
ooo and i forgot the camfire song and dor the exras: the same boat(AHHH YEA GIVE US THE PERCABETH THAT WE DESERVE I LOVE IT) and ofc the chb song (iconic)
I'm sorry but son of posideon is play at my funeral or at least on repeat. I've litterly been at work and had to pull out my fone and been like I gotta listen to that again...
Very good ranking i am agree with you, i am a very recent fan of the Percy Jackson serie (i start in january and i am now at Trials of Apollo: the titan tomb) and those music help me during this hard year (especialy "another terrible day" who makes me laugh a lot or the camp fire song who makes me really happy for Percy. Continue your video, i'ts really great to see a youtube Channel on this univers who deserve more fans. From France
I know this is probably irrelevant now but please read, So on RUclips you can find the entire musical recorded from Broadway, the camera quality isn’t very good and the camera person does hide the camera from like ushers once or twice but otherwise it is the entire musical and it’s to good, and then you can find the cast in concert, where they do a live performance but it’s some of the songs In The musical and the outtakes and explains each one, but please watch both of those I had goosebumps when I want he’d them in concert and still do
I just wanted to explain " son of position" it is showing Percy embracing that he is the son of position because we see a lot in the beginning of the musical that Percy was really upset with his dad for not being there for him and for the fact of when position reached out it was only because needed his help.
@@Unclaimeddemigod IVE BEEN HERE SINCE I WAS KID I DID EVERYTHING THEY EVER ASKED YES I DID,BUT FOR WHAT? YOU KNOW THIS WORLD WILL NEVER BE OURS AS LONG AS OUR PARENTS RULE OVER THE STARS! SO I’LL DO ANYTHING.I DONT CARE IF I HURT ANYONE.IT DOESNT PAY TO BE A GOOD KID A GOOD KID A GOOD SON.THE GODS WERE NEVER ON OUR SIDE SO I SAY ITS TIME WE WATCH THEM FALL! SOON YOU’LL SEE WHAT I DID,SOON THEY’LL BE NO GODS AT ALL!
i never saw the musical, but a mostly ok fancam is available if you look up "gen z tutorial The Lightning Thief full". anyways i really love rock music, so Pick a side and Put You in your place have been literally on repeat for me daily. and Drive, even tho its lowkey a country song, for some reason too xD
I doubt anyone cares but hey here’s my opininons: A bit of context, I watched a dress rehearsal for a high school production of this (I’m a middle schooler we were watching some old kids from out school do it) and well being a dress rehearsal we only got half way, i was furious, I decided to read the book and I actually managed to do it before opening night, and I actually got to see it 3 times. I always thought Percy Jackson is some lame Harry Potter type nerd stuff, I mean it kinda is but still, I am a nerd (oh yeah and this all happened early March 2022 so still the same month as I’m writing this) So yeah that’s a bit of context Anyways prologue: on repeat all day. I love the beginning part giving everyone the spot light and then Percy come in, the fight scene is epic but my favorite part is when Percy’s like “no body listens to me” I really felt for him, now the actors playing Percy (I actually know him) he did not do it very well, sorry but on the recording it sounds so sincere Strong: repeat All day: I love this song I love it when he mentions his add and dyslexia because I really felt for him also growing up with them, just someone being so supportive of him over his issues and sally really deserved the song Minotaur/dream: skip, I don’t like the fight sequence while just trying to sing on my playlist, the dream part is alright Another terrible day: good jam. I don’t know what to say about this one I casually sing to it but don’t have any strong feelings Their sign: good jam. I’d have to dissagree I only really like the Percy part of this song Put you in your place: good jam: I also happen to know the kid who played Her and I mean she dose not have the mean yelling sprit. as for the song, it was okay The camp fire song: good jam. Luke is litteralky the best part of this musical, I also love the Percy part that’s it, it’s a good jam I often sing this one around The oracle: skip. Trash, no offense but like it’s just weird and it could have just been done as a conversation Good kid: PLAY AT MY FUNERAL. When I heard this song I had an instant connection, like I said I grew up with adhd and dyslexia I KNOW the struggles Percy I can relate to everything in this song besides the no mom part, feels like no one’s cares, I never tried to do anything or hurt anyone I try to be a good kid, when I read this song for the first time, instantly went on the playlist, this song gives me such big feelings and I’ve never once has a song ever given me or helped me so much. I was not very happy at the time, the keep on switching my role around in my play, I was thinking about quitting but this song has given me everything hope, motivation it reminds me that over people has gone through the same things, I honestly can’t even explain how much I love this song. Killer quest: good jam. I love the energy of this song Lost: repeat all day. I really just vibe with this one, how are these grown adults portraying panicking 12 year olds so good, even the high schoolers did a good job My grand plan: funeral. This song mostly just gives me motivation just not in the same sense as good kid, still in funeral category just a step down from good kid Drive: funeral. I love how it incorporates a lot of the stuff in the book in this one song, and it’s one of Grover’s main songs and a good vibe Weird dream: skip Tree on the hill: repeat all day: sung by Grover, it’s excellent his voice is beautiful and a great overall part of the musical DOA: good jam. The Vienna boys quire is the the best part lol, the also cam all the up the isles singing and just a great upbeat vibe song sandwiched between a sad song and a motivational (I guess you can call SOPa motivational song) song Son of Poseidon: repeat all day mainly one for the good kid reprise part, and then there is a bit of fighting which is kinda bring to listen to while not watching and then yeah a bit more stuff over all good Last day of summer: PLAY AT MY FUNNERAL: literally IGNORE EVERYONE the Luke part is the highlight of the show for me, it has another vibe as no one is on my side kinda thing I understand. And just Luke’s voice in the recording, chefs kiss, also the other people were good too but Luke wins Bring on the monsters: good jam. Mediocre finale song, I do the the need where Percy just repeats and everyone is singing something else. Honestly this show and book has given me so much motivation (and 13 AR points) and it’s just a great overall musical I listen to EVERY single day (if you’ve made it this far wow, thanks for reading and caring a both some random persons opinion)
Ok sorry for all my random comments but Son of Poseidon is about Percy fighting ares and accepting he’s a demigod and accepting the life of a demigod and protecting his friends (family) he’s made
i’m in the lightning theif musical at my community theatre right now!! i’m in the ensemble and it’s so fun edit: yeah percy finds out he’s the son of Poseidon after capture the flag
The Percy Jackson Musical is what got me into this wonderful fandom. I listened to it a few times, and then said "screw it, I'll read the book". For once, I didn't look back.
IS THAT A LAST OLYMPIAN REFERENCE
@@cucumberpaul1330 YES!!!!!
Yessssss
Luke's reprise of The Last Day of Summer is definitely my favorite part of the musical. The actor has such and expressive voice.
Literally same though
How do i like a comment multiple times?
i love that it shows he is still bad but you can understand
Yess
The wittlest minotaur was a joke song because the girl who played annabeth had to play the minotaur at one point and she's short so they made the song backstage and recorded it for the meme
I agreed with almost everything except like two songs
You can’t say that and NOT mention the songs, now I’m curious!
@@Unclaimeddemigod I didn’t really like drive but I think I agree with everything else but I haven’t listened to the musical in a while

PLAY THIS AT MY FUNERAL: Campfire song, Good kid, Lost, My grand plan, In the same boat.
ON REPEAT ALL DAY: Prologue, Minotaur/Weirdest Dream
GOOD JAM: Strong, Another Terrible day, Put you in your play, The last day of summer
GOOD SONG BUT SKIP: Their sign, The oracle, Killer quest, Drive, Son of poseidon, Bring on the monsters, Tree on the hill.

@@Unclaimeddemigod I fixed it now. I took the time to sit down and listen to it 😂🤫
Son of Posidon is him gaining his confidence in himself and accepting who he is. He finds out after Campfire Song, and is just like, "Yeah, cool. So I'm still like everyone else, right?"(Paraphrasing)
The Littlest Minotaur Song was created as a inside joke by the cast and they thought it was a fun song so they added it as a bonus track.
He new that he was the son of Poseidon earlier in the musical but the song Son of Poseidon is when he really excepts that fact and comes into his own
Yep. Good kid is iconic. They better play at my funeral.
@@Unclaimeddemigod thanks!😂😂
For The son of posiden it’s Percy realizing that his dad gave him a way to get out of the underworld and also he’s not trying to avoid that he’s a demigod anymore he’s like fully coming into his identity

I know this video was a year ago, but i have so share my knowledge on “The Wittlest Minotaur”
So basically, they wanted to make the minotaur scary in the minotaur scene, so they had this idea where all the actors stacked on top of each other to create this giant minotaur.

He does know that he's a son of posiden before then but it's just that moment when he starts to own it and be proud and thankful of his dad

The only reason Strong isn't my favorite track is because it's practically a seven way tie on this soundtrack. But I'm probably not the median fandom or demographic either - 50, parent, public school teacher, child with needs...

I agree I never thought Luke would be my favorite part of anything until I saw this musical especially in the Last Day Of Summer

I have been meaning to give this a listen. Sounds like it may be a good time
i recently watched/listened to the musical for the 1st time and im obsessed, like how dis i never watch it before? i love th cast even tho they’re a bit old, it doesnt feel as wierd as in the movies. also, i read somewhere that they where supposed to do the show again in 2021 but it got cancelled cuz of covid, so i hope they’ll reprogram it cuz they know ill fly half way across the world to watch it
also, i found it on yt, someone filmed one of the representations, and even tho the quality isnt great, its better than nothing :)
also i totally agree with strong.
i think my favorite songs are good kid, my grand plan, drive, the last day of summer and bring on the monsters.
also, the whole son of poseidon song is ab percy accepting his dads help and realizing that even if he wasnt present when he was a kid, he is now and thats better than nothing, and now hes embracing that!!
anyways, as always, love you and your video and tour energy in this one is just 👌🏻
ooo and i forgot the camfire song and dor the exras: the same boat(AHHH YEA GIVE US THE PERCABETH THAT WE DESERVE I LOVE IT) and ofc the chb song (iconic)
I'm sorry but son of posideon is play at my funeral or at least on repeat. I've litterly been at work and had to pull out my fone and been like I gotta listen to that again...
There’s another cut song called Take the Weight which is basically a reference in its entirety
My two best friends and I made a video of Pick A Side, yk one of those cosplay lip sync videos, I was Clarisse.
Very good ranking i am agree with you, i am a very recent fan of the Percy Jackson serie (i start in january and i am now at Trials of Apollo: the titan tomb) and those music help me during this hard year (especialy "another terrible day" who makes me laugh a lot or the camp fire song who makes me really happy for Percy.
Continue your video, i'ts really great to see a youtube Channel on this univers who deserve more fans.
From France
:0 there’s a Series coming out? WHEN! *I NEED TO KNOW!*
Thanks!
he had not descoved he was the son of posidan till then
My favorite song is put you in your place
for my first tattoo imma get "2,448 mi" on my wrist
What do you mean it don’t have the best special effects? The toilet paper leaf blowers are * chefs kiss* 😂
Lost was honestly my fav but the pauses were kinda annoying but it’s fine
I know this is probably irrelevant now but please read,
So on RUclips you can find the entire musical recorded from Broadway, the camera quality isn’t very good and the camera person does hide the camera from like ushers once or twice but otherwise it is the entire musical and it’s to good, and then you can find the cast in concert, where they do a live performance but it’s some of the songs In The musical and the outtakes and explains each one, but please watch both of those I had goosebumps when I want he’d them in concert and still do
About Son of Poseidon - it's Percy accepting that he's a son of Poseidon and who he is
I absolutely love the musical I feel so happy when I listen to it
I love Luke too, only in this musical. In the books, he is okay 😁
I also love the song ‘Good Kid’
Yeah I agree with most of your opinions
The widdlest Minotaur is just a song that the crew used to tease Annabeth’s actress for being small
Wait but you didn't rank annabeth's bonus song Take the weight.
@@Unclaimeddemigod Check it out on youtube. I really like that song.
Y'all the oracle slaps c'mon!
it's just not my vibe, sorry
I listen to The Last Day of Summer on repeat just for Luke’s part.
I went live
I just wanted to explain " son of position" it is showing Percy embracing that he is the son of position because we see a lot in the beginning of the musical that Percy was really upset with his dad for not being there for him and for the fact of when position reached out it was only because needed his help.
Is Luke a bad person who I want to kill? Yes.
Is his verse in the last day of summer amazing? Yes.
@@Unclaimeddemigod
IVE BEEN HERE SINCE I WAS KID
I DID EVERYTHING THEY EVER ASKED YES I DID,BUT FOR WHAT? YOU KNOW THIS WORLD WILL NEVER BE OURS AS LONG AS OUR PARENTS RULE OVER THE STARS! SO I’LL DO ANYTHING.I DONT CARE IF I HURT ANYONE.IT DOESNT PAY TO BE A GOOD KID A GOOD KID A GOOD SON.THE GODS WERE NEVER ON OUR SIDE SO I SAY ITS TIME WE WATCH THEM FALL! SOON YOU’LL SEE WHAT I DID,SOON THEY’LL BE NO GODS AT ALL!
I’m so glad more people are discovering this gem. It’s severely underrated and the Tony’s did it dirty.
i never saw the musical, but a mostly ok fancam is available if you look up "gen z tutorial The Lightning Thief full".
anyways i really love rock music, so Pick a side and Put You in your place have been literally on repeat for me daily. and Drive, even tho its lowkey a country song, for some reason too xD
I agree with you totally about "Their Sign"
I doubt anyone cares but hey here’s my opininons:
A bit of context, I watched a dress rehearsal for a high school production of this (I’m a middle schooler we were watching some old kids from out school do it) and well being a dress rehearsal we only got half way, i was furious, I decided to read the book and I actually managed to do it before opening night, and I actually got to see it 3 times. I always thought Percy Jackson is some lame Harry Potter type nerd stuff, I mean it kinda is but still, I am a nerd (oh yeah and this all happened early March 2022 so still the same month as I’m writing this)
So yeah that’s a bit of context
Anyways prologue: on repeat all day. I love the beginning part giving everyone the spot light and then Percy come in, the fight scene is epic but my favorite part is when Percy’s like “no body listens to me” I really felt for him, now the actors playing Percy (I actually know him) he did not do it very well, sorry but on the recording it sounds so sincere
Strong: repeat All day: I love this song I love it when he mentions his add and dyslexia because I really felt for him also growing up with them, just someone being so supportive of him over his issues and sally really deserved the song
Minotaur/dream: skip, I don’t like the fight sequence while just trying to sing on my playlist, the dream part is alright
Another terrible day: good jam. I don’t know what to say about this one I casually sing to it but don’t have any strong feelings
Their sign: good jam. I’d have to dissagree I only really like the Percy part of this song
Put you in your place: good jam: I also happen to know the kid who played Her and I mean she dose not have the mean yelling sprit. as for the song, it was okay
The camp fire song: good jam. Luke is litteralky the best part of this musical, I also love the Percy part that’s it, it’s a good jam I often sing this one around
The oracle: skip. Trash, no offense but like it’s just weird and it could have just been done as a conversation
Good kid: PLAY AT MY FUNERAL. When I heard this song I had an instant connection, like I said I grew up with adhd and dyslexia I KNOW the struggles Percy I can relate to everything in this song besides the no mom part, feels like no one’s cares, I never tried to do anything or hurt anyone I try to be a good kid, when I read this song for the first time, instantly went on the playlist, this song gives me such big feelings and I’ve never once has a song ever given me or helped me so much. I was not very happy at the time, the keep on switching my role around in my play, I was thinking about quitting but this song has given me everything hope, motivation it reminds me that over people has gone through the same things, I honestly can’t even explain how much I love this song.
Killer quest: good jam. I love the energy of this song
Lost: repeat all day. I really just vibe with this one, how are these grown adults portraying panicking 12 year olds so good, even the high schoolers did a good job
My grand plan: funeral. This song mostly just gives me motivation just not in the same sense as good kid, still in funeral category just a step down from good kid
Drive: funeral. I love how it incorporates a lot of the stuff in the book in this one song, and it’s one of Grover’s main songs and a good vibe
Weird dream: skip
Tree on the hill: repeat all day: sung by Grover, it’s excellent his voice is beautiful and a great overall part of the musical
DOA: good jam. The Vienna boys quire is the the best part lol, the also cam all the up the isles singing and just a great upbeat vibe song sandwiched between a sad song and a motivational (I guess you can call SOPa motivational song) song
Son of Poseidon: repeat all day mainly one for the good kid reprise part, and then there is a bit of fighting which is kinda bring to listen to while not watching and then yeah a bit more stuff over all good
Last day of summer: PLAY AT MY FUNNERAL: literally IGNORE EVERYONE the Luke part is the highlight of the show for me, it has another vibe as no one is on my side kinda thing I understand. And just Luke’s voice in the recording, chefs kiss, also the other people were good too but Luke wins
Bring on the monsters: good jam. Mediocre finale song, I do the the need where Percy just repeats and everyone is singing something else.
Honestly this show and book has given me so much motivation (and 13 AR points) and it’s just a great overall musical I listen to EVERY single day (if you’ve made it this far wow, thanks for reading and caring a both some random persons opinion)
There is a reproduction of the musical on RUclips, it’s so good
Ok sorry for all my random comments but Son of Poseidon is about Percy fighting ares and accepting he’s a demigod and accepting the life of a demigod and protecting his friends (family) he’s made
i’m in the lightning theif musical at my community theatre right now!! i’m in the ensemble and it’s so fun
edit: yeah percy finds out he’s the son of Poseidon after capture the flag
