Chris McCarrell and the Cast of THE LIGHTNING THIEF on Making Book Fans Happy & Honoring the Series 

I haven't seen the musical but just from her appearance that Clarisse was PERFECTLY cast.

I saw it while it was on tour. It's so good and does justice to the books. I'm so glad it made it to Broadway 😭🙌

On Kristin's part of the interview, ngl I actually discovered the books because of this musical. I literally went from a person who doesn't actually read a fiction genre book to actually reading one. The people who've been in the fandom (or should I say, FANDAM--) longer than me made me curious about the show's accuracy from the original book they based it from and how the musical gave justice on the book unlike the movie adaptation. I literally read the whole PJO and HoO series in a span of 2 and a half months (okay sue me if im quite of a slow reader but I'm still new to reading, alright?) In conclusion, this musical dragged me to read the books as well (and by a help of a friend that was into it as well lmao)

I freaking love this musical. PJO series lover or not you will LOVE IT. The cast is amazing and they capture the characters so well. Go see it while it's on Broadway!!!!

I’ve never read the books (although I want to now!) so as someone that went into this musical knowing nothing about it, they did an amazing job making the story accessible for everyone.

Alternate title : Sly Digs at the Peter Johnson films by the cast of The Lightning Thief.

Hi I have a story. I was blessed and fortunate enough to see the show on tour. After the show the wonderful cast held a Q and A (the cast we’re looking down at us from another floor of seating while they had everyone standing in the orchestra area )and being the weird person I am I was like “you know what I’m going to sneak up there and ask the cast for a hug “ I snuck up there like a ninja and I was standing right behind them. Practically breathing on the cast and no one noticed! (Except my friends standing on the bottom level freaking out) anyways once they started to leave I stepped in front of Kristen stokes (Annabeth) and asked her for a hug in which she kindly gave. Then Chris was behind her. I asked him for a hug and he just kind of looked at me and said “Hi! “ and waved. AND THATS MY STORY ABOUT THE TIME I MET CHRIS MC CARELL THANK YOU

ahhh well I'm a book fan and they've definitely made me happy!

Btw, Sarah Beth, Jorrel, Kristin, Ryan, Jalynn, James Welcome to Broadway!

I love books and musicals so this was amazing,the whole cast inspires me so much i love them all

Ya know when i read the books i didn’t imagine percy with an adorable valley girl accent but i’m not really complaining

Chris sounds drunk lmao
