Bumping...this show made it to Broadway! It'll be at the Longacre Theatre for a short 16-week run starting in October. Cast hasn't been announced yet. The show was so good the kids and I saw it twice in two different cities during the national tour. Even DH, who hates musicals but joined us for the 2nd show, came away with "OK, that was really good."

The musical follows the books and captures the feel of the books very closely, so if your kids were super disappointed in the movies after reading the books (who wouldn't be??), the musical will make things right

Oh great!! We watched a show from the front row and it's totally worth it. They just announced the cast this morning too and it'll be the original touring production cast - they're very talented, I especially like Percy and Chiron, and I'd totally watch them again! Enjoy!

I'm a musical obsessive and I did not like this one at all. I didn't like the books either. My kiddo liked both!
