- "The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical" is "worthy of the gods!" (Time Out New York). The Greek gods are real, and they’re ruining Percy Jackson’s life. As a son of Poseidon, Percy (Chris McCarrell) has newly discovered powers he can’t control, monsters on his trail, and he is on an epic quest to find Zeus’s lightning bolt and prevent a war between the gods. Normal is a myth when you’re a demigod. McCarrell, Kristin Stokes and Jorrel Javier took the BUILD stage to chat about the musical.

I love that they all say that Chris is the first person to play Percy and completely refuse to recognize that the movies exist this cast is wonderful
The Gods have authorized the use of the Mist to help people forget about that cinematic travesty.
Athul Nair facts
@@NairAthul yees idk how people like the movies
@spoon people dont like the movies, they are a disappoint... But the MUSICAL?!? Its incredibel! Its my new life meaning!
@@shoelacethesupposableparro560 most people don't, but there are some people who do
"WE DID OUR OWN RESEARCH ON THE ORIGINAL SOURCE."
OMG IS THAT WHAT I JUST HEARD???
Kristin signed the sleeve of my camp half blood sweatshirt.
So how do you want me to wash it?
Jaime Monte don’t wash iy
TheTyeDyeGirls wasn’t planning on it
Cut off the sleeve and keep the sleeve as a memoir
emilywuvsyou I think it was a metallic sharpie. It hasn’t come off yet and I’ve washed it a few times.
@@jaimemonte2925 keep drawing over it
The fact that Kristin is from the west coast like Annabeth is the best.
Annabeth’s actually from Virginia, but yeah she lives in the west coast at one point
@@betsyb she also has connections to Boston
I'm a bookworm deal with it well sorta but yeah
I'm a bookworm deal with it I love your username and your profile picture!
When Jorrel said he wanted to go to Paris because of the bread I immediately knew he was a perfect choice for Grover
jorrel is such a pjo fan, we stan a legend
LEGEND INDEED
Put your half blood hands together...
Me: *claps hysterically*
*STANDING OVATION*
@@musicalfan2633 I read that standing Octavian🤣
I still feel like the guy that played Grover would be PERFECT as Frank
Omg! Yessssss that would be perfect!
I love how they got the book translated so well into a musical. The best is how many actual lines and actions from the book have been incorporated into it. That is really special and I didn’t know how this musical was gonna turn out when I heard it was being made, but I love this musical so much and I appreciate how much effort was put into this!!!!
Kate Kropelnicky YoU dRoOl wHeN yOu SlEeP
The cast NEEDS to meet Rick. I know he doesn't watch the shows, but I really want him to meet this cast :(
8:33 “navigate those waters”
i know he didn’t even realize it but i died
Same! Omg xD
If you want musicals on the rest of the series

Yessss
Yessssss!
Chris McCarrell would most definitely form a bromance with Percy if they ever met. Jason is jealous (maybe)
*Fight me*
Actually...
@@camilascatonebedin3002 shhh! Don’t remind me
This interview is the complete inverse of that Sea Of Monsters interview whether the actors didn't understand the question about blue food.
I JUST WATCHED THAT AND I NEARLY DIED THIS HEALED MY SOUL
10:32 HE’S ONE OF US
I want this show to go on a world tour. Come to England please. Apollo and Dionysus bless this show please.
If you ask Dionysius then it'll never happen
yes, and to germany!
And The Netherlands!
I mean... Apollo is currently stuck as Lester sooo... dont think he can do much rn
Come to Belgium!!!!
I love how even though Chris is on this super popular show, his hair is still crazy and so unperfect. Im just here thinking that this is such a Percy move
kristin stokes is a gift to this earth
emma corinne yes her voice scares me with how amazing it is
I petition that if George Salazar ever stops playing Michael during BMC's Broadway run, Jorrel should be his replacement.
That would be cool and all, but i don't really want his career to just be in George's shadow. If he goes around picking up all of George's roles then thats what he'll be known for.
@@skylarscm4274 I agree
@@skylarscm4274 This is why although if it came to the uk I'd love Blake Patrick Anderson to play grover, I also don't because he was just Michael and I don't want him to become the UK George.
Mrs dodds: Please see me by the sphinx
The pyramid: *someone literally just turns it around*
😂
I love bread. I really love bread.
- Jorrel
I liked my own comment bc why not
Eau Tambago carbs are the best tbh
i’d like it to go on record that i was here’s before it makes it to broadway.
me too lol
PieceofLove B AH
Same I’ve gotta remember that I found this in May and not September
I’d like to go on record to say that I was here since the book sooo *mic drop*
If you are thinking about going to the musical, then you totally should. I went to the San Jose show and it was AMAZING
5 seconds into their singing and you can already feel yourself healing from the Peter Johnson movies.
You also get to meet the cast after so it's a win-win. (Some people there knew Kristin and she was like talking to everyone, it was so cool sorry im fangirling)
Shasmeen uwu What show did you go to? I was at the Sunday afternoon show!
I watched it at San Jose too! I went to the Friday showing and left school early to watch it. It was definitely pure luck since I had heard about the musical. The musical was really great and even my sister who knows nothing about pjo laughed.
AAAAAAH COOOOOOVIIIIIIIID
@@evajo1505 you should definitely check it out when covid is over !
i couldn't go to it i never got the chance :(((
but now my high school is doing it for their spring musical so that's pretty cool :D
For the whole interview I couldn’t tell if they were in character or not. The casting is so on point. I love this so much
Watching this while staring lovingly at my signed program... ugh I miss that day so much
I'm kind of frustrated that I didn't come to the show when it was so close by, especially since I'm such a hard PJO fan and has been following this musical for quite a while. The cast seem lovely! I hope everyone who have/can see the show had/have so much fun for me.
"I want to perform at Paris?"
"Why?"
"I heard they have good bread."
I need this show to do an international tour because I love the soundtrack and Percy Jackson in general but I live in England 😭
the number of times ive taken a ballpoint pen and dramatically uncaped it expecting riptide is so embarrassing.
Tired Tyler is it embarrassing or a sign? A sign that the gods have a plan.
I know that the future looks blurry
But not to worry just do what you can
Yes the gods are very real, though they often don’t reveal, who they are, what they want, their design....
Have faith, keep your chin up, we'll help you adjust. And trust you will see their sign
I saw the show and loved it a lot. I met most of the cast (except chris unfortunately) and they were all the sweetest. So glad they get to play out these stories that had such a huge role in my childhood
I love the musical so much, know all the songs etc. but I'm an international fan so can't see it. The show and everyone in it are amazing!!!!
Me too I am also international
That one dislike was Kronos
@TheBookNerd12 t o s o o n
the person who disliked it basically is no one because there are many, many, many more people in the world than that one person
The other one is Luke.
It's Kronos and gaea the 2 idiots who thought to challenge them😂😂
There's three now so it's Kronos, Gaea, and Hera. I know it's Hera because she's a dam pain.
Jorell is so nice, he signed my playbill and hugged me
They're literally their characters and that is so beautiful
Ok, I love the actors! But can we take a minute to talk about the interviewer! Like he’s so knowledgeable about what he’s taking about, you can tell he actually cares, and the question he asks are so interesting and things that I actually want to know!
These people are literally their characters I LOVE THIS
29:08 WHAT MOMENT THERE ARE SO MANY
MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS SILENA BUT NOW I'M THINKING
-Family Luke
-Hades jumping into battle
-Percy kicking ass with Achilles' curse
-When Annabeth takes the knife for Percy
-Sally/Paul ALSO kicking ass
-THERE'S JUST TOO MANY GOOD SCENES
@Keira Brynn OH YEAH
- leading into HoO with the prophecy of seven.
Those three dislikes:
Kronos, The 1st and 2nd Percy Jackson movie IF those even existed ( cough cough they don't even exists )
Then the other 2 dislike are Gaea and... Hera maybe?
Ethan Reyes and mrs dodds
The musical and it's cast are helping the fandom heal after the horror that was the movies
Liliana Terlep movies?
Saw the musical a few days ago!! SO AMAZING AND WORTH IT!! The energy is unrivaled :D
U r so lucky
I hope that they do the sea of monsters as a musical!
VTA meeshies i hope they do it for all of it
Natalie Chua we NEED a HoO series!!
Addy Bettis imagine if Leo had a song XD
I'd love to see that and book three. I want to see what Nico might sing!
Strange Bookish Child I need that
The real big three.
I’m seeing lightning thief in san jose and this interview is everything I need. I’m gonna get Jorrel some bread for sure!
oo same!!!
Marshy_540 wait are you seeing it in san jose?
@@hannahjohnson4322 yep on May 10th I think
Marshy_540 no way! so am i!!
@@hannahjohnson4322 :O that is so cool!!! XD
22:20 that is so adorable how they look at each other
I love the musical sooooo much 😍😍😍 They have beautiful voices!
I wonder if he's talking about the moment where Annabeth gets stabbed and Percy shows her his weak spot.
Yeah I think that’s it, but he was too vague to guess
Or the "family, Luke" moment
I'm gonna guess Jorell was either talking about the new prophecy of seven being told or the Underwater Kiss.
Saw your performance in Toronto, thanks for playing the characters right and giving the same feelings I had while reading!!!
* Here's him talk about the North Carolina show *
* Screams * I WAS IN THAT DAMN AUDIENCE, AND I FEEL ACCOMPLISHED!
SAME I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN HE MENTIONED IT
Simply Idiotic *dam. People! It. Is. Dam. Not. Damn.
Kristen Stokes could kick me in the face and I would thank her. I love her so much
She is the greatest thing ever to happen to this planet.
May I point out that at this point, the entire LTM cast is how I envision the characters (except Silena sorry).
ALSO!: I went to the San Jose show and Kristin was literally so sweet and excited and she was jumping up and down when she met everyone. Even her mom’s theatre troupe came to the show I was at so that was an extra factor.
Oh my gosh I'm a part of that troupe LOL we're actually doing TLT right now as our summer show!
I student produced a one act version of this show, and I saw them when they came to Chicago! absolutely incredible show, and a talented set of actors!
Jorrel really is Grover and I absolutely love it!
I love jorrel oH mY GoOOOooOd
The intro just made me realise there is probably a full proshot of this musical
Chris's answer to what his favorite book is really warmed my heart, these books have changed a lot of people's perception of the world and , more importantly, their perception of themselves. I have ADHD and had already read all the books prior to my diagnosis so I was lowkey thrilled about it 😆
the thing about theatre bringing people together couldn't be more true. Even for people watching theatre, ive been at stage doors and met people from diffrent countrys and states and learned a bunch about them from talking about musials and actors and stuff
Oh how I wish I could see this musical
Same.
I saw this last week and it was *SO GOOD* ! The whole cast was amazing!
She Peter Johnson movie? This is what could've happened. But noOoooOooOoOoo you *had* to do change nearly *everything*
Thank. You.
Can we get a round of applause ladies, gentlemen and others? Yes. The answer is yes. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
i miss them so much 🥺
I love pjo and I never got to watch it and it's over noooooo
they’re the best i love them so much
the fact they all bond over the books-
Seeing the trailer makes me so happy bc the show is so amazing
"There is a very dedicated fanbase out there."
Is it bad that literally, the first thing I thought of was that we'll kill anyone who participated in the making of the movies?
Anneliese H. Except the guy that played Tyson it seemed he actually read the books or at least one of them but they paid him to say things for them
Anneliese H. But we don’t come for the actors. They did nothing wrong
we come for the script writers who didn't listen to rick and really the only thing the cast kinda did wrong was say blue food had nothing to do with percy jackson but it's not completely their fault
The director for the first movie made Home Alone-
I went to see the show in Durham and W O A H I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
I really want to see this at some point in my life
SO MUCH MORE ACCURATE than the books. I love this musical to pieces.
im gonna guess Jorrel's talking about when Annabeth took a knife for Percy?
Maydrix I thought it was the Underwater Kiss but I could be wrong
Yeah, he said that it’s in the battle, so I thought it must be that scene too. It could also be the scenes after that, when Percy and Annabeth spend a little time together. Don’t think it’s the under water kiss though
hmmm i thought the moment when percy refused immortality????? but it also could have been about luke maybe "family luke! you promised" so idk...
ik this video is over a year old now, but when I heard Durham NC I FREAKED (Durham is my hometown)
I think Jorrel was talking about the bridge scene? Or about what happened after that. Anyway, this cast is perfect in every way
WHEN HE SAID NORTH CAROLINA I WAS LIKE AAYYYY WHERE THE NC GANG AT
I saw this show twice once off broadway and once on broadway . I am in love with the books and musical theater so for me it really just fit. In the middle of the opening number the first time I saw it I looked at my mom and said OMG this show is going to be amazing ! P.S. I was totally right !
chris is so adorable
I'll be seeing it at Dallas and I'm super excited! I'm glad the book has a good representation now for people to see, and I love the casting
WAIT THEY CAME TO DALLAS?!?!? I LIVE IN FORT WORTH I COULD'VE WENT GODDAMMIT
Kristin is giving off big top energy
I hope it comes back to Canada. I’m Canadian and I rlly wanna see this show!! 🥰🥰🥰
"I love *bread* "
31:00 Chris moving around imitating kids who can't sit still is literally me--
They are my golden trio❤
CAN THEY PERFORM IN THE ROUND??? SACRAMENTO OMG YES PLEASE
I’m going to see the show in June as an early birthday present and I’m so excited Percy Jackson is such a huge part of my life and this is honestly so much better than the movies like and I can tell just by listening to the cast recording the only thing I’m sad about is that I won’t be able to see George but I’m so happy that BMC is on broadway.
THEY WERE IN CANADA
DID THEY SEE FRANK
THIS COMMENT MADE ME PROFOUNDLY HAPPY THANK YOU
Ngl the ending of the musical was EPIC
I saw this in Toronto it was sooo good!
27:23 and then they ended up on Broadway 🥺
Hol' up
I see cuffed jeans
Who disliked this?!?!?!?! I love all three of the SO SO SO SO SO much! They are great people💕💕💕
its almost over i’m going to sob
Who else thinks that they look like the characters when their grown up
y am i about to cry?
Jorrel is a god 🙌🏽 He is a mood and would totally be me if I got casted 😂
29:43 ok so is anyone speculating what jorrel's favorite moment in TLO is?
(if its 1 character moment, i personally think its when nico summons all the skeleton warriors OR the silena/clarisse achilles/patroclus thing)
I wish I could see this 😭😢
I'm feeling this video a little too much aaaah I just love them
i MIGHT be seeing the show in a couple days aaaa i really hope so
honestly i have no clue what moment Jorrel was talking about. the kiss? idk
edit: no show for me this time 😥
No. 1 Fander I thought it was when Silena is reveled as the spy?
Bro i had that thought too, it’s definitely a possibility
Maybe when Annabeth took a knife for Percy?
I would think it would be Luke's last moments, wouldn't it? That's what I always remember as one of the most memorable parts of Luke's character and last book of the storyline of the first series, when the prophecy finally comes to fruition.
Chris McCarrel is Percy.
saw this today in a field trip
Luckyyyyy
Love themmm
