Following a sold-out Off-Broadway engagement in 2017, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical will return to New York City in the spring for a limited run at The Beacon Theatre. The musical will play six performances March 28–31, 2019, as part of its previously announced national tour.

The tour will kick off in January. Chris McCarrell, who starred in the New York premiere, will again step into the role of Percy Jackson, and Kristin Stokes, who played Annabeth, will reprise her role. Further casting will be announced at a later date.
