Movies? What movies? There are no movies. The only adaptation of the books is this musical. There are no Percy Jackson movies. I would love to see Percy Jackson and co. come to the big screen, but it has never happened. Nope.
Ali Esquivel Um, same? Poseidon would probably hit him upside the head and hug Percy tightly saying "Mine." xD I'm seeing this playing in my head and it's hilarious.
I watched the live musical, he was really really good. Like Grover and him, the acting was incredible: keep in mind, they was less that 10 cast members.
OKAY BUT I CAN SEE SO MANY FACTORS OF PERCY'S PERSONALITY IN THIS! There's the honest Percy, the despairing Percy, the sarcastic Percy, AND I JUST CAN'T ASJFJSLAJDUWIWPSKDJF
HOW DOES HE NOT SING THIS WITHOUT CRYING!? I CRY JUST BY READING THE TITLE ON THE OTHER HAND, THAT LOOK OF BITTER SARCASM WHEN HE SAYS "Yeah Percy that's a good one," IS SO GODS DAMN PERCY LIKE I LOVE IT
They probably won't do the entire series, sequels to musicals are very unusual. The only one I can think of is "Love Never Dies", a sequel to "Phantom of the Opera". "Love Never Dies" was a massive flop, by the way.
It's not likely. As someone already said, Love Never Dies was terrible. It was more like a fanfiction rather than canon work. Plus writing a musical can take years to do
"I swear I never stole anything, I never meant to hurt anyone. I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid, a good kid that’s had a bad run." Whenever I hear that all I can think is Piper.
same! but actually it's talking about how he never took the master bolt from Zeus. Percy actually said 'I swear, I never stole anything!' to Hades in the first book.
WHY DOESNT THIS HAVE MORE VIEWS, I'M FREAKING OUT... WHERE IS THE FANDOM!?? IT'S HAPPENING, AFTER YEARS OF AGONY OVER THE MOVIE WE FINALLY GET SOMETHING THATS GOOD ENOUGH FOR RICK RIORDANS WRITING
Chara maffle others are hating it. they're like OMGs Percy don't sing and he's not 12 it's gonna be bad. they're pissing me off. wtf they're hating something that they haven't watched at all! They're spawns of Gaea
nico singing?! its a miracle! but no i was saying will it be that long, like until BOO, so it was 2 different questions... just idk if u'll get this but thats what i meant
Rima AlSabah as cool as that would be, that doesn't really…happen. This musical will be standalone, I'm sure, because stage musicals don't usually get sequels, much less multiple.
Percy Jackson has meant everything to me for over ten years and seeing this right now is quite literally bringing me to tears. If only I could go see this live. THANK YOU TO ALL THE CAST AND CREATIVE TEAM WHO MADE THIS REAL
OK I've seen a lot of people saying this is a terrible idea, but I heard more emotion, accurate characterization and similarities to the books than I saw in BOTH movies. Chris McCarrell is fantastic in this video. He looks like Percy would look at his age, he's dressing like Percy would, and we can see from that little behind the scenes clip before the song that he even shares some personality traits with Percy. And don't even get me started on the song. It perfectly summarizes all the emotions Percy feels in the first book. Grover and his mom were the only people who cared about him. And this song talks all about how he feels so alone and nobody believes him about all the weird occurrences. It mentions how distressed he is about his mom being gone and only stuck with Gabe. The part where the song slows and its pretty much just Chris singing has so much emotion as well. And it gets to the deeper meaning of Percy feeling alone, he just wants someone to accept and love him. So all in all. I think this musical is going to be great. It seems like the new songs and extended script and Chris McCarrell are going to make this musical great. Especially if Rick is actually positively promoting this musical. :)
For everyone who wants lyrics: Six schools in six years, been kicked out of every place. Everything I ever do is wrong, never find where I belong, everybody on my case. The same old story, the same old song: don’t act up, don’t act down, be strong. I keep my head down, I keep my chin up, but it ends up all the same, with: “Pack your bags, Percy, you’re always to blame.” I never try to do anything, I never mean to hurt anyone! I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid, a good kid, a good son. But no one ever will take my side, all I ever do is take the fall. I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid - guess I’m good for nothin’ at all. Gabe was a world-class jerk, dad was never there. The only family that really mattered? Well, she vanished into the air. And now I finally find a haven, some place safe where I can stay, till it’s: “Pack your bags, Percy, now go, go away”. I never try to do anything, I never mean to hurt anyone! I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid - yeah, Percy, that’s a good one. But no one ever will take my side, all I ever do is take the fall. I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid - guess I’m good for nothin’ at all. All the schools in six years, every battle, every day. No one ever tells me that they’re proud, no one asks me, “Percy, how’d ya like to come around and stay?” And all you get are bad grades, and a bum rap, and a bad rep, and a good smack, and no friends and no hope and no mom . . . she’s taken away. I swear I never stole anything, I never meant to hurt anyone. I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid, a good kid that’s had a bad run. And all I need is one last chance to prove that I’m good enough for someone . . . good enough for someone (six schools in six years, six schools in six years). I’m good enough for someone (six schools in six years). I’m good enough for someone! - I really hope it's right, if not, correct me :D
"a good son" always gets to me because to Sally he's always been a good son, but everyone else has degraded and abused him so much that he thinks he isn't. It reinforces that one person who's fully on your side isn't enough and that's not due to a lack of effort, humans just need a support system around them.
"Give us a TV series!" we said "Here is a movie that doesn't follow the books" they said "Please, just a TV series" we said "Here is a musical" they said
According to the official website (Rick Riordan's social media links to it), book fans who have already seen test runs of this show say it's amazing, and Rick himself is endorsing it solely because of how much the fans love it.
I feel like younger Percy is perfectly defined by this. You can clearly see his low self esteem pain the books, and his urge to just fit in, and be accepted by his father. It's hinted that Gabe abuses him, and we can clearly see how hard Sally's 'death' affects him. This song just sums it up perfectly. And now I wanna cry.
i just watched the first two episodes of the lightning thief tv show. they were pretty good, but percy's voice will always be this for me. so far, this is my favorite adaptation of my favorite book series. i love this song
OK BUT EVEN RICK IS SUPPORTING THIS SO UM LET'S MAKE IT STICK TO THE PLOT TOO M8'S~ I freaking love this sm. Chris does a good job for Percy and it doesn't really matter he has brown eyes instead of blue since the audience won't catch that. I cannot believe my passion for musicals and this series is colliding!!!
Annabeth Chase there are contacts he can were to give him sea green eyes when there playing live but for now I don't think they use them for recording the songs
I am so excited for this! Although, this guy's 26 and has brown eyes, he'll be as charming as Percy, I feel it. Also, he's so talented. This song gives me goosebumps. The lyrics is on point. It shows me a heartbroken side of Percy which is rarely seen in the books (because Percy always shakes it off with some sarcasm - which is also something I like about him). If I lived in the USA, I'd go and watch it for sure. But since I'm not, I just hope they upload more songs (or anything else, really) from the musical.
Maybe he is twenty six, but he gives off a more “Percy” aura than the Peter Johnson actor. Plus, he’s like a twelve year old in a 26 year old’s body (in a good way, of course.)
When I first heard of the musical I honestly didn't have high hopes. Once I heard this song my view completely changed. The song seems to capture Percy's struggle really well. I have high hopes. This fandom deserves a good live adaptation.
I have loved Percy Jackson for years, and I've loved Chris Mccarrell ever since I saw him in Les Mis a year ago, so finding out about this production has made my life. This song is incredible!
I didn't want to like it. I thought it was weird and unessasary. I WAS SO WRONG OMFG IM SMILING LIKE AN IDIOT AND WANT TO CRY THIS IS SO GREAT! Reminds me of Calvin Berger but it's percy freaking jackson 😍😍
4:02 He is literally the perfect Percy ever. Like, he's so proud of himself that he sung this song in such an amazing voice..... Dad, (Apollo), you need to give him a guitar for his birthday.
Okay I'm actually crying real tears right now because Percy Jackson means an incredible amount to me and has literally shaped me into the person I am today and I'm really emotional about it and the fact that I can't see this live is sad to me but like I'm excited for this to be a thing and it's too late ATM for me to text any of my friends but like someone help I'm crying over this
THEY GOT THE PERCY JACKSON CHARACTER IN2 MINUTES AND TWO MOVIES COULDN’T GET 1 THING RIGHT. I LOVE THIS SPCAST AND WAS DYING TO SEE THE PLAY. Like you don’t know who bad of a Percy Jackson book fan I am and the movies did NOT cut it. I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Percy Jackson books

This got me crying, I'd love a duet between Percy and Nico, them standing at either side of the stage, starting of quiet bit ending dramatic with Nico crying, my heart
I saw Chris McCarrel as Marius in Les Miserables, and I am so excited for this, he brought a whole new light to Marius as a character I had never seen, and I'm more than ready to see him bring the same energy to the hero of my middle school career, and one of the first fan bases I'd ever joined, It's also never crossed my mind how much he looks like Percy Jackson. I'm so excited, it's been like a year or two since I've read the books and they remain my favorites to this day
This is without a doubt the most perfect casting of Percy I've ever seen. I like Logan Lerman but there was something about him that didn't quite do it for me in the movies but *Chris* *McCarrell*...This guy *is* Percy, without a doubt in my mind. Congrats on an amazing casting and an amazing song! :)
Alykat Logan Lerman felt too…I hate to say pulled together, but he didn't capture the sarcasm or attitude of Percy. Besides, Piper describes him as "Scruffy…a skater." Chris looks more like that. Plus, even the subtle acting he's doing while singing this feels more honest than the entire movie.
Kerri Jo I completely agree! That's exactly what it is. Logan Lerman was very clean-cut and they did try to scruff him up a bit but he still came out with that kind of naive-ish look and feel to him, whereas canonically, Percy has seen some shit. He's been kicked around his whole life by pretty much everyone who's come into contact with him (excluding his mom and Grover) and he's got a kind of grittiness and sarcastic street sense that comes with that. The books even say that he had to develop this kind of "don't mess with me" look to keep people away because he was getting picked on so often. Logan Lerman was, in my opinion, missing that grit. And even here, even in this little tiny sneak peek thing, I can see Chris has it.
Of course I would prefer a much younger actor to play Percy, but maybe by director's choice or whatever they went with an older actor, but he fits Percy so well I am fine with it
the way chris closes his eyes and he words just flow out and he looks like hes just,,,,,, so *into it* is how i feel whenever im singing any song.... gods what i would give to be in a musical.
I'm actually crying right now. This is the best day of my life!! I will actually sell my soul so that I can see this... and can I just say because Chris McCarrell is Percy.... he is ADHD. A Dam Hot Demigod.
I'm dying right now!!! If this turns out awesome, this will be one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Percy Jackson has been with me since childhood. Now combing pj with musicals (which I'm also obsessed with), is so lit I can't even
Sophie & Bucherwelt I hit this faster than I hit the skilletband subscribe button. You have no freaking idea! I will be hitting notifications faster than you can say "Hot dam."
the song was even more accurate than the two movies
Movies? What movies? There are no movies. The only adaptation of the books is this musical. There are no Percy Jackson movies. I would love to see Percy Jackson and co. come to the big screen, but it has never happened. Nope.
Nico di Angelo omg it is
animelover23458 Exactly I don't know what these people are talking about.
Nico di Angelo love your ussername
Nico di Angelo i love how the LT musical's official channel liked this comment
The Apollo Cabin forced Percy to do this, didn't they?
Arwen Quinn oh yeah they also had aploo to help them
Arwen Carbery 100%
Flipping Austin
We did and dad did help us
Rachel Spirit well
Of course they did
"I swear I never stole anything"
Um excuse me yes you did...you stole my heart!
MoOd
Everybody in the fandom to Leo, nico, and percy among others
And Annabeth's. *finger guns*
And car in Son of Neptun but it isn't really important...
Taylor Talbott-Clark YESSSS
I can hear Apollo clapping from Olympus.
Sami Romero GeeHee same here
Why are most of the comments about Apollo? 😂😂😂😂
It's been a year. Being a god, he can do the "listening to the same song over and over before getting sick of it" deal for a while
You mean LESTER? 🤣
He'd probably write a horrible haiku about it:
"Nice singing Percy
Bit pitchy on the D flat
I could do better"
can we just talk about how they got Percy's personality in three minutes and the two movies didn't even get one bit of it in two hours.
areadersworld ikr
areadersworld so true
Legit
true heck how do they get annabeth hair wrong it literally says she’s a blonde
@@dat_trashyshipper5158 MULTIPLE TIMES YIKES
This was Apollo's idea, wasn't it?
Fionnuala Hunt IKR xD
Fionnuala Hunt honestly tho😂
Fionnuala Hunt most accurate thing
Most likely
Not even Apollo could do such a horrible song
i can see Percy having an amazing voice and just Apollo showing up like wuddup can I claim him?
Ali Esquivel yass
Ali Esquivel Um, same? Poseidon would probably hit him upside the head and hug Percy tightly saying "Mine." xD I'm seeing this playing in my head and it's hilarious.
totally agree.
i can totally see that lol
Ikr!? Every fanfic I have I make Percy a good singer because... I can just hear Chris' voice in my head!
MY SKIN IS CLEAR THE CROPS ARE WATERED GROVER IS STILL A MAIN CHARACTER WOW
GROVER IS STILL A MAIN CHARACTER I AM DYING
I haven't realized how much I've missed Grover until now when we have more Grover.
THANK YOU
d. c. I kNOW - i was always disappointed that Grover didn’t appear as much after the percy jackson series
Tbh grover is my favorite character and he doesnt get enough love
Chris McCarrell makes Logan Lerman look like a kindergartner as Percy. He is Percy Jackson!
Matthew Lees YES IKR I CAN ALREADY TELL HE IS THE BEST PERCY THERE IS, HES EVEN WEARING A BLUE SHIRT LIKE I LOVE THIS GUY NOW
I watched the live musical, he was really really good. Like Grover and him, the acting was incredible: keep in mind, they was less that 10 cast members.
In the live show, he is unclockable.
Logan can be Poseidon in the live action, Chris can be older Percy, and then we find a random kid who looks like percy
@Golden Comet LMAO
OKAY BUT I CAN SEE SO MANY FACTORS OF PERCY'S PERSONALITY IN THIS! There's the honest Percy, the despairing Percy, the sarcastic Percy, AND I JUST CAN'T ASJFJSLAJDUWIWPSKDJF
There's also the abused percy
It’s more accurate that the moives
That1weirdgeniez Epic gamer moments Xd yep
HOW DOES HE NOT SING THIS WITHOUT CRYING!? I CRY JUST BY READING THE TITLE
ON THE OTHER HAND, THAT LOOK OF BITTER SARCASM WHEN HE SAYS "Yeah Percy that's a good one," IS SO GODS DAMN PERCY LIKE I LOVE IT
excuse me, but you spelled dam wrong (lol)
Rebeca ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ Buddy, no he didn’t LMAO!
Dude, of course they spelt it wrong. *Dam,* I'm getting angry for nothing, aren't I? Now I feel like getting a *dam* snack bar.
MagmaRblx YT It’s spelt damn though.
MagmaRblx YT Dam is like a river dam, damn was the damn they meant.
WAIT ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ IF THEY DO THE ENTIRE SERIES ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️NICO DI ANGELO WILL SING⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ I REPEAT NICO DI ANGELO WILL SING
Just Ro OMG YES!!!
OH MY GODS
IMAGINE NICO SINGING A TECHNO-POP SONG ABOYT MYTHOMAGIC
They probably won't do the entire series, sequels to musicals are very unusual. The only one I can think of is "Love Never Dies", a sequel to "Phantom of the Opera". "Love Never Dies" was a massive flop, by the way.
Abram in Wonderland LET ME DREAM OKAY😂😩
It's not likely.
As someone already said, Love Never Dies was terrible. It was more like a fanfiction rather than canon work.
Plus writing a musical can take years to do
"I swear I never stole anything, I never meant to hurt anyone. I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid, a good kid that’s had a bad run."
Whenever I hear that all I can think is Piper.
Also I _really_ want the sheet music
I was truthfully thinking " is that line actually about Piper?".
same! but actually it's talking about how he never took the master bolt from Zeus. Percy actually said 'I swear, I never stole anything!' to Hades in the first book.
Casey Marie WHENEVER I HEAR IT ALL I HEAR IS EVERY DEMIGOD EVER
Ok but technically Piper did steal stuff
That "Not bad" face he did at the end was the most Percy Jackson thing I've ever seen.
Hum hum hum, not bad XDDD
this lowkey reminds me of freeze your brain from heathers
I thought the same thing!
me too
I didn't see that now I can't unhear it
As soon as he said the line about being through 6 schools I thought the same!
YES
Wow, he actually looks like Percy Jackson. I was expecting someone that looks nothing like Percy. He looks like Percy in The Last Olympian.
WHY DOESNT THIS HAVE MORE VIEWS, I'M FREAKING OUT... WHERE IS THE FANDOM!?? IT'S HAPPENING, AFTER YEARS OF AGONY OVER THE MOVIE WE FINALLY GET SOMETHING THATS GOOD ENOUGH FOR RICK RIORDANS WRITING
WAIT, WHAT THE HELL DID I MISS? THIS ISNT EVEN THAT NEW?? HOLY CRAP, NOW I FEEL LIKE A BAD FAN
I think it's becoming official only now, rick posted some things on instagram
Chara maffle I think I can say for the fandom we can't take another heartbreak we're nervous
Chara maffle others are hating it. they're like OMGs Percy don't sing and he's not 12 it's gonna be bad. they're pissing me off. wtf they're hating something that they haven't watched at all! They're spawns of Gaea
Magnus Chase SPAWNS OF GAEA HOLY HEPHAESTUS IM SHOK
I thought Percy said he couldn't sing... What a liar.
LMAO
"if I tried to sing it'd probably cause an avalanche" 😂
I LOVE PERCY SO MUCH. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.
Apollo must be as happy with this as I am
Clau Reads Books hes busy with nero to see
Cuando recién veo este comentario de Clau :'v
Clau Reads Books he’s probably pissed that Rob didn’t credit him for the idea.
CLAU!!! ♡
He is probably pissed of because they didn’t include one of his kids in a musical
A PERCABETH DUET... I REPEAT A PERCABETH DUET!!! MY BODY NEEDS IT
Angel reads OMG YES PLEASE
Angel reads YESSS 😍😍😍
YEEEEEES
YEEEAH
YESSSSSSSSS PLEASE!!!
EVERYONE FLOOD TUMBLR WITH THIS HURRY

RIGHT!
Hey they weren’t horrible. They’re just not as good as the books are.
OMG YAAASSS TRUE
Давайте Жить Вкусно so true!!!!
Elexis Stacy the mist must be pretty thick around you
if this is a successful musical do you think it'll go all the way to heroes of olympus? will we get a Nico?!
It wouldn't have to go that far. Only book three or four to get Nico singing
nico singing?! its a miracle! but no i was saying will it be that long, like until BOO, so it was 2 different questions... just idk if u'll get this but thats what i meant
Rima AlSabah as cool as that would be, that doesn't really…happen. This musical will be standalone, I'm sure, because stage musicals don't usually get sequels, much less multiple.
I WANT MY SOLANGRELO!
you never know; there's 3 harry potter musicals.
he sounds exactly as I imagined Percy would
Percy Jackson has meant everything to me for over ten years and seeing this right now is quite literally bringing me to tears. If only I could go see this live. THANK YOU TO ALL THE CAST AND CREATIVE TEAM WHO MADE THIS REAL
Melissa M Same here yeah😍
Same, when he sang the good kid good kid a good son part I teared up so much
Zara Petit yeah Same I also had that
Melissa M EXACTLY HOW I FEEL
This is brilliant I hope it comes to Britain!!!!! PERCY YOU'RE GOOD ENOUGH FOR ANNABETH!!!

"i swear, i swear that im a good kid."
"yeah, percy. thats a good one."
i cried
For everyone who wants lyrics:
Six schools in six years, been kicked out of every place.
Everything I ever do is wrong, never find where I belong, everybody on my case.
The same old story, the same old song: don’t act up, don’t act down, be strong.
I keep my head down, I keep my chin up, but it ends up all the same, with: “Pack your bags, Percy, you’re always to blame.”
I never try to do anything, I never mean to hurt anyone! I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid, a good kid, a good son.
But no one ever will take my side, all I ever do is take the fall. I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid - guess I’m good for nothin’ at all.
Gabe was a world-class jerk, dad was never there. The only family that really mattered? Well, she vanished into the air.
And now I finally find a haven, some place safe where I can stay, till it’s: “Pack your bags, Percy, now go, go away”.

I'm a big theatre geek and a Hermes kid so hiii fellow sibling
Broadway trash and Athena kid :)
Lester Papadopoulos would be so happy 😂
"a good son" always gets to me because to Sally he's always been a good son, but everyone else has degraded and abused him so much that he thinks he isn't. It reinforces that one person who's fully on your side isn't enough and that's not due to a lack of effort, humans just need a support system around them.
This lyrics are more canon than the two movies
"Give us a TV series!" we said
"Here is a movie that doesn't follow the books" they said
"Please, just a TV series" we said
"Here is a musical" they said
mariaarakal even better
Emily Eborn
no way!!!!
mariaarakal EVEN BETTER!
MORE AMAZING
mariaarakal I love music and PJO but together is a sin
I got chills and almost started crying. I hope this gives Percy Jackson the justice it deserves.
According to the official website (Rick Riordan's social media links to it), book fans who have already seen test runs of this show say it's amazing, and Rick himself is endorsing it solely because of how much the fans love it.
I know this comment is from five years ago, but I can assure you, it has
Okay I've heard onE SONG AND AM ALREADY OBSESSED
same
Same. I've been singing bits of this for hours.
same
oh it gets worse HAH youll never escape
He is literally Percy and i love him
I feel like younger Percy is perfectly defined by this. You can clearly see his low self esteem pain the books, and his urge to just fit in, and be accepted by his father. It's hinted that Gabe abuses him, and we can clearly see how hard Sally's 'death' affects him. This song just sums it up perfectly. And now I wanna cry.
1. Chris McCarell sounds great
2. This song is awesome
3. I'm excited for this musical
4. He's cute
Everyone agrees with 4
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL HE'S SUCH A CUTE PERCY I'M CRYING
same
Apollo have gifted us this gift
Along with Rick
Then after the final bow I want Apollo to stay on the stage reciting bad haikus until everyone leaves
Yes....the power of bad haikus......only those who have read ToA have survived through 10 thousand of them...
i just watched the first two episodes of the lightning thief tv show. they were pretty good, but percy's voice will always be this for me. so far, this is my favorite adaptation of my favorite book series. i love this song
my thoughts exactly he is the best
OK BUT EVEN RICK IS SUPPORTING THIS SO UM LET'S MAKE IT STICK TO THE PLOT TOO M8'S~ I freaking love this sm. Chris does a good job for Percy and it doesn't really matter he has brown eyes instead of blue since the audience won't catch that. I cannot believe my passion for musicals and this series is colliding!!!
PERCY JACKSON HAS SEA GREEN EYES!!!
Annabeth Chase there are contacts he can were to give him sea green eyes when there playing live but for now I don't think they use them for recording the songs
no. in the comment, she said that he has blue eyes. his eyes are sea green.
I am so excited for this! Although, this guy's 26 and has brown eyes, he'll be as charming as Percy, I feel it. Also, he's so talented.
This song gives me goosebumps. The lyrics is on point. It shows me a heartbroken side of Percy which is rarely seen in the books (because Percy always shakes it off with some sarcasm - which is also something I like about him).

We're in the same boat. Can''t see the actual thing, but at least we have the songs.
In a theater tho u can’t tell his eye color and he totally has the sarcastic twelve year old Percy attitude down. His line delivery was amazing!
HE'S 26?? WHAT
Maybe he is twenty six, but he gives off a more “Percy” aura than the Peter Johnson actor. Plus, he’s like a twelve year old in a 26 year old’s body (in a good way, of course.)
When I first heard of the musical I honestly didn't have high hopes. Once I heard this song my view completely changed. The song seems to capture Percy's struggle really well. I have high hopes. This fandom deserves a good live adaptation.
He deserved a Tony Nomination.
OOOOOOOH MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD THIS IS AMAZING SONG AND AMAZING PERCY (MY FAVOURITE BOOK CHARACTER)!!!!!
my skin is clear, stress is gone, i can see light again i feel alive
I have loved Percy Jackson for years, and I've loved Chris Mccarrell ever since I saw him in Les Mis a year ago, so finding out about this production has made my life. This song is incredible!
same
same
theatretrash I'm in the exact same situation wow
I have always been a huge fan of musicals and Rick Riordan, imagine how much this means to me!
“Bad run” he says, performing a killer run.
"I swear I’m a good kid, a good kid - who’s had a bad run..." this hit HARD.
I didn't want to like it. I thought it was weird and unessasary. I WAS SO WRONG OMFG IM SMILING LIKE AN IDIOT AND WANT TO CRY THIS IS SO GREAT! Reminds me of Calvin Berger but it's percy freaking jackson 😍😍
This could be promising. I think this rock, Next to Normal/Heathers-esque music is a good fit for Percy Jackson. Hoping for a cast recording.
HOPE YOURE HAPPY
AAHHHHH!!!!! I´M FANGIRLING SO HARD RIGHT NOW!! OMG
heart hurts when you live in australia and you cant see it live
Casey Turner SAME GURL
OH MY gosh Same I died a little on the inside.
Emma.B i just wish they filmed it and have it on i tunes. I would pay ticket price just to watch it
Casey Turner same ,only I don't live in Argentina ,I live in Guyana
Casey Turner IM SO MAD I LIVE IN NEW YORK AND ITS IN NEW YORK CITY AND I CANT GO LIKE WHAT?
4:02 He is literally the perfect Percy ever. Like, he's so proud of himself that he sung this song in such an amazing voice.....
Dad, (Apollo), you need to give him a guitar for his birthday.
2 lyrics into this song and I know this will be better than the movies.
What isn't better

Dude, I was here when it was 100. I was so confused, like "where the HELL are the fans??"
Chara maffle Same I was like how can this have only 100 like what?!
The actor who plays percy is awesome. I love this song
I swear, I swear I'll be a good kid and learn every song lyrics from this musical omg.
Okay I'm actually crying real tears right now because Percy Jackson means an incredible amount to me and has literally shaped me into the person I am today and I'm really emotional about it and the fact that I can't see this live is sad to me but like I'm excited for this to be a thing and it's too late ATM for me to text any of my friends but like someone help I'm crying over this
This is the exact way I imagine Percy’s voice to be like!
YOU CAN'T TELL ME THIS IS'NT REALLY PERCY JACKSON WEARING BROWN CONTACT LENSES,YOU CAN NEVER MAKE ME CHANGE MY MIND-
Chris: Guess i’m good for nothing at all 😔
The Tonys: yeah ❤️
And then the movie cast:
"blue food doesnt have anything to do with percy jackson"
They were so precise they even added that in the musical I just
THEY GOT THE PERCY JACKSON CHARACTER IN2 MINUTES AND TWO MOVIES COULDN’T GET 1 THING RIGHT. I LOVE THIS SPCAST AND WAS DYING TO SEE THE PLAY.
Like you don’t know who bad of a Percy Jackson book fan I am and the movies did NOT cut it.
I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Percy Jackson books
I wouldn't mind having Chris as Percy in the upcoming rebooted Lightning Thief tv series/movie.
This guys acts so much like Percy
"I do feel like a superhero"
"You're a demigod"
"Or a demigod"
Chris McCarrell is a perfect Perseus Jackson. They couldn't have gotten that casting any better. And this song makes it even better.
WE FINALLY GET THE PERCY JACKSON WE DESERVE
LYRICS:
Six schools in six years, been kicked out of every place.
Everything I do is wrong, never find where I belong, everybody on my case.
The same old story, the same old song: don’t act up, don’t act down, be strong.
I keep my head down, I keep my chin up, but it ends up all the same, with: “Pack your bags, Percy, you’re always to blame.”
I never try to do anything, I never mean to hurt anyone! I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid, a good kid, a good son.
But no one ever will take my side, all I ever do is take the fall. I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid- guess I’m good for nothin’ at all.
Game was a world-class jerk, dad was never there. The only family that ever mattered? Well, she vanished into the air.
Now, I finally find a haven, something safe where I can stay, then it’s: “Pack your bags, Percy, just go, go away”.
I never try to do anything, I never mean to hurt anyone! I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid- yeah, Percy, that’s a good one.
But no one ever will take my side, all I ever do is take the fall. I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid- guess I’m good for nothin’ at all.
All the schools in six years, every battle, every day. No one tells me that they’re proud, no one asks me, “Percy, how’d ya like to come around and stay?”
And all you get are bad grades, and a bum rap, and a bad rep, and a good smack, and no friends and no hope and no mom . . . she’s taken away.
I swear I never stole anything, I never meant to hurt anyone. I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid, a good kid that’s had a bad run.
And all I need is one last chance to prove that I’m good enough for someone . . . good enough for someone (six schools in six years, six schools in six years). I’m good enough for someone (six schools in six years). I’m good enough for someone!
Kara West Thank you!
CHRIS MCCARRELL AS PERCY I CAN'T
*dies*
*hyperventalates*
*cries tears of joy*
*breaks out into song*
"ITS A BEAUTIFUL FRICKIN DAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
someone here after Percy Jackson's notice on Disney Plus?!!!
This got me crying, I'd love a duet between Percy and Nico, them standing at either side of the stage, starting of quiet bit ending dramatic with Nico crying, my heart
and a song called talk to the poodle percy
hahahah yes xD
Calvin York I need that in life
Calvin York New song "Talk poodle to me" lol
Calvin York this is why I love this fandom
hahahahhaha great
I saw Chris McCarrel as Marius in Les Miserables, and I am so excited for this, he brought a whole new light to Marius as a character I had never seen, and I'm more than ready to see him bring the same energy to the hero of my middle school career, and one of the first fan bases I'd ever joined, It's also never crossed my mind how much he looks like Percy Jackson. I'm so excited, it's been like a year or two since I've read the books and they remain my favorites to this day
As a long-time fan of the series and a HUGE theatre kid, I haveabsolutely zero words for excited I am.
I've met Chris McCarrell TWICE and seen him preform three times and he never ceases to amaze me.
Chris McCarrell never ceases to make me cry with this song
This is without a doubt the most perfect casting of Percy I've ever seen. I like Logan Lerman but there was something about him that didn't quite do it for me in the movies but *Chris* *McCarrell*...This guy *is* Percy, without a doubt in my mind. Congrats on an amazing casting and an amazing song! :)
Alykat its like a carbon copy of vira's (however you spell the name) drawings of percy.
Rachel Chase trueeee
Alykat Logan Lerman felt too…I hate to say pulled together, but he didn't capture the sarcasm or attitude of Percy. Besides, Piper describes him as "Scruffy…a skater." Chris looks more like that.
Plus, even the subtle acting he's doing while singing this feels more honest than the entire movie.
Kerri Jo I completely agree! That's exactly what it is. Logan Lerman was very clean-cut and they did try to scruff him up a bit but he still came out with that kind of naive-ish look and feel to him, whereas canonically, Percy has seen some shit. He's been kicked around his whole life by pretty much everyone who's come into contact with him (excluding his mom and Grover) and he's got a kind of grittiness and sarcastic street sense that comes with that. The books even say that he had to develop this kind of "don't mess with me" look to keep people away because he was getting picked on so often. Logan Lerman was, in my opinion, missing that grit. And even here, even in this little tiny sneak peek thing, I can see Chris has it.
Of course I would prefer a much younger actor to play Percy, but maybe by director's choice or whatever they went with an older actor, but he fits Percy so well I am fine with it
Can we just talk about how this one song is more accurate than both movies combined
With how the dude was talking before the song it felt like he was Percy already. Can't wait!!!
this guy just radiates percy energy
the way chris closes his eyes and he words just flow out and he looks like hes just,,,,,, so *into it* is how i feel whenever im singing any song.... gods what i would give to be in a musical.
Who cried because I know for a fact that I did... 😭😭💙💙 love this so much!!!
I'm actually crying right now. This is the best day of my life!! I will actually sell my soul so that I can see this... and can I just say because Chris McCarrell is Percy.... he is ADHD. A Dam Hot Demigod.
I'm dying right now!!! If this turns out awesome, this will be one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Percy Jackson has been with me since childhood. Now combing pj with musicals (which I'm also obsessed with), is so lit I can't even
After misunderstanding a comment I now really want a musical tv series of Percy Jackson with this guy as Percy!!!! 🥰
Amazing
As a child of Athena and a Musical Theatre nerd I'm so hyped.
