it's been millions of years that y'all have asked so i finally did it
Can you please react to epic the musical songs?
please react to more if the lightning their songs it’s an amazing musical or even its new disney+ show
More please
could you react to the last day of summer i feel like you would like the last part alot!!!!!!!
a very potter musical next pls
Percy IS an unreliable narrator but in the sense that he has no idea how powerful he is and he has absolutely NO IDEA what he’s doing lmao
Exactly! He's a kid after all
Grover, Percy, and Annabeth have one brain cell between them. 90% of the time Annabeth has it. The other 10%, Grover has it.
@@Jamestopboy I would argue Percy and Grover share the 10% lol they both don't know what they're doing most of the time 🤣😂 Annabeth FED UP
@@deliriousmusicality8840 compromise: Annabeth has 90%, Percy and Grover each get 5%.
@@GLArts_64 yes exactly lmao
When I first saw the TLT musical (the bootleg) I was so shocked that a freaking theater musical had done a way better job at every damn thing than the movies!
Oh, the Peter Johnson movies suck 😂
oh come on.. it's getting ridiciulous now. Imagine being that blinded by disappointment that you think this shitty muscial thingy is better than actual movies.
No wonder everyone is pissed at book fandoms whining all the time.
*dam. (Iykyk)
@@19Rena96 We’re upset because the movies took the term “creative liberties” to the extreme and did not follow the book AT ALL. Save for the basic facts of Percy being the son of Poseidon, Annabeth being the daughter of Athena, etc. The musical is a far more accurate representation of the book than the movie ever will be. I personally don’t complain about it but it did piss me off when the movie came out.
@@19Rena96it's an amazing adaptation that's far more faithful to the source msterial than those terrible movies. it's created by actual fans of said source material. the person who wrote it is one of the writers on the show. it was good enough for rick riordan himself to back it and promote it.
like... the musical is a million times better than the percy jackson movies? it's just plain objective fact by an adaptation standpoint. the musical itself is ofc not a 100% adaptation but they show enough love and respect to the source material that it works and hits the right spot for fans.
YES OMG this musical was something I never knew I needed till I heard that guitar!
I had been working on a Percy Jackson animatic when you posted this and my jaw dropped because I was binge watching your content earlier that day as well and I was so freaked out that I had to wait like half a day before watching this. My favorite song is Tree On The Hill, George Salazar shows emotion through his singing better than any singer I’ve ever listened to I swear 🥺
You definitely need to react to the other songs!!! Drive and Killer Quest are such a bops!
Oml, I loved this musical. The whole DAM playlist is on my liked songs. Whenever I read anything Riordanverse, I have to have the playlist playing or else it just doesn't feel right. I literally completed a school assignment while jamming to this. I'm so excited that it's getting the attention it deserves! Strong is like my fave song on it so I really hope you get to cover it, it's soooo GOOD!
LET'S GO!! I'm so excited that you did this. I loved hearing your theories of what was happening haha.
Somehow, you listened to three of the best songs for worldbuilding as they are all towards the beginning of the musical! If you listen to more (though I'd watch a whole listen through
great reaction! please do a part 2, you absolutly need to listen to "Good Kid" and "My Grand Plan"
WE NEED MORE PERCY JACKSON VIDS!!
I suggest you watch more! My personal favorite song from it is “Lost!”, but you’d also need to watch “Killer Quest” for context
As a die-hard pjo fan this was so funny to me, cuz the musical is made for people who have already read the books so the things he assumes with no background knowledge r so interesting to me
PLEASE MAKE A PART BTW AMAZING VID
IM SO EXCITED YOURE REACTING TO THISSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSSS
You HAVE to listen to "Good Kid," "Last Day of Summer," and "Bring On The Monsters" !!
I recommend listening to Strong, and also DOA (which is so random and unhinged?)
I smiled so wide when this showed up on my fyp
please watch the full musical, I'd love to see you react to the show!
Lol right after it showed annabeth and the baseball cap she got from her mother, the goddess of wisdom, he made a comment about 'a god of wisdom'
I second everyone else, pleeeeeaaase do more of this!!!
So im sure more people will say it but PLEASEEEE do more of the musical or the new show that's airing on Disney+, bc as a book fan, the show is doing quite a good job so far
I love this! I want more reactions to the PJO musical. And a last video on Julie and the Phantoms too…
You should listen to Epic the Musical as well! 😍 If you haven't heard about it yet, it's a musical about Odyssey, and it's still in progress, but there are already 13 songs out.
More mattew half blood he is such a Apolo or hermes kid im glad he is getting to know our half blood world wecome to camp buddy
Im hoping they do all the movies for the Disney plus series
I’m so happy you reacted to this Mathew! Fun fact, the musical actually has a very small cast with a lot of the actors having multiple roles, so the guy that plays Dionysus (Mr. D) also plays Percy’s friend Grover (the one he was saying was weird in the first song)! So glad you liked his voice!
WAIT WHAT?! I never knew that..they sound so different!
@@xFantasy_ Yea the actor is George Salazar and he's really good
@@xFantasy_ he's also the guy who sing micheal in the bathroom from be more chill
@@katy-hn2jmI absolutely love MiB and I showed my mom like 2 days ago and she loves it too
Fun fact the guy who sings another terrible day is george salazar, who you've already heared in be more chill as Michael !! Also I really hope you do a part 2 with at least good kid, my grand plan, and put you in your place. This is definitely one of my favorite musicals :D
He also plays grover and Beetlejuice
@@chadthunder8188 I don't think he ever played Beetlejuice? But yes yes he is grover :)
@@monochrose yeah I mixed him up with alex brightman
I am so happy you're finally listening to this musical!
You 1000% need to react to "Good Kid", "My Grand Plan", "Put You in Your Place", "The Tree on the Hill" & "Last Day of Summer", they are hands down the best & most popular of the whole fantastic lot.
So, if you enjoyed the musical thus far, you haven't seen anything yet. It gets soooooo much better.
I approve of these song choices.
Totally! Plus they’re very character-focused if Matthew doesn’t want to go through the whole plot
Absolutely agree!!
Agree!
Wish I could upvote this comment ngl
Small bit of context: Percy is 12 years old and got expelled from 6th grade in the first song. All the stage actors are obviously adults but the characters are still meant to be 12. Also I highly recommend the Disney+ Show! It’ll fill in all the gaps you’re missing from between the songs and the story at large.
I haven't checked out the show due to what I think is an obvious fear, is it at least watchable?
@@DParkerNunyaits... Better than the movies at least. But that's not really saying much. It's okay if you don't mind the slight but often changes from the book (not talking abt actors just general plot)
@@_thE_lEttEr_E_ I'll give it a try then
The author co-wrote in Was executive producer on the TV show
@@DParkerNunya It’s okay if you’re okay with supporting a company and people who are pro-genocide.
15:56 no he wanted Ares or Apollo’s kids bc he just didn’t want to hear Katie (daughter of Demeter) complain about archery and the use of wood for probably the millionth time 😂
Grover is a Satyr, technically Satyrs are children of Pan since he created the species but he's not directly related to him in the way the others are
Being a Percy Jackson fan and a Greek mythology and musical enthusiast this is great
Frr who knew epic would spiral into pjo lmao
i was in this show last year! as a lifelong percy jackson fan it was one of the best experiences i’ve had and i would love to see you react to the rest of the show!
i suggest the song pick a side- it’s a bonus track but it’s one of my favourites
Pick a side is my favourite of all the songs!!! It's so good omg
WHAT YOU WERE IN THE SHOW??? WHO DID YOU PLAY???
@@Fantasies4you just at a summer theatre program, but it was super fun!
i was in the ensemble but my best friend played chiron and did an awesome job
@@rynsvt2518 omg thats so cool!!
My fav bonus track is Try
If you’re going to listen to more songs from this, I’d absolutely recommend Put You In Your Place, Good Kid, and My Grand Plan. Ofc all the songs are amazing regardless-
Absolutely also tree on the hill
strong as well!
Agreed to both of you-
Holy sbit yes
And if you don’t mind a huge spoiler, The Last Day of Summer is a great climax to the musical.
Great reaction! This musical is definitely underrated. If you like Greek mythology, I would recommend reacting to the cast recording of Hadestown! The show is the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. Its one of my favorite musicals because its the music is unique and the vocals are amazing
I think he might have reacted to Wait For Me like a billion years ago. It wasn’t popular enough though so he hasn’t done any since
Also, I can’t get through Hades town as someone with ADHD. It takes me forever, so it might be the same for him.
And Epic the Musical. It's a musical adaptation of the Odyssey.
You need to listen to the songs Good kid, Last day of summer, Put you in your place, Grand plan and Killer Quest! They’re in my opinion some of the best songs in the musical!
"I know it's really depressing, but at least they have each other !"
...who's gonna tell him ?
7:57 in the live version he actually says “ setting fire to those first graders” . Yancy ( The school Percy is at ) is a school for “ troubled kids “ and “ delinquents “
I love this musical! Very excited to see you react to it! If you're interested in keeping in the Greek myths theme, I highly recommend Epic The Musical
VOUCH especially wolfythewitch's animatics of it
@@holly2786 heck yes! I don't normally watch animatics but I follow their work closely. Their videos are so smooth and really embody the songs.
YES
Say it louder! Especially now that Ocean Saga’s out
Hell yeah love those
7:51 the funniest thing about that line, is in the play, he says "she only hates me because I stopped her from *setting fire* to the first graders"
The Death Note musical is another diamond in the rough in my opinion, especially since the singer who played Varian in the Tangled series is in it!
YES
HONESTLY
ITS FUCKING AMAZING
YES OMG
oh my god hearing THE jeremy jordan referred to as "the singer who played varian in the tangled series" caught me SO off guard like bro has starred in like every modern broadway musical and for what 😂😂😂
i legit SCREAMED when nico showed up in the "the day i got expelled" animatic!😭😭 also, the original lyric wasn't "wedgying the first graders." it was "setting fire to the first graders" :D
You should definitely read the books, it will clear up a lot of things 😂 (also Percy has ADHD and dyslexia, he doesn't look for trouble trouble finds him 😂😂😂)
Oh my gosh, YES! PLEASE do another video of the The Lightning Thief musical, it's so good! My two favorite tracks are Good Kid and My Grand Plan. Also, the obligatory statement that if you like this then you should REALLY check out EPIC: The Musical. There are so few people who have done reaction videos to Epic, so you would like have a monopoly over the market.
Yes! Epic is so good! I can't wait for the circe saga to come out next! Matthew should definitely react to that!
I NEED him to react to Epic, the songs are just, beautiful-
I've been wanting him to react to Epic for months now, please Mathew 🙏
So excited you're discovering the wonderful world of Percy Jackson! More songs from the musical I'd love to see you react to - My Grand Plan, Good Kid, Put You In Your Place, and Drive
I think after listening to all the songs from this musical you’ve gotta watch the Disney show adaptation. It’ll provide a lot of context and answer most of your questions. Plus it’s just a really good adaptation. The musical was definitely made with fans of the books in mind and isn’t the best when it comes to gaining a new audience. The show is better about that since it explains things a lot more thoroughly, tho I do recommend reading the books because even the show isn’t super friendly to people who have no idea about Percy Jackson. I’d say it’s still better than the musical in that aspect but the books are just really good and if you end up liking the musical and maybe even the show they’re definitely worth a read through
I’ve been enjoying the show, but there are certain scenes and moments that don’t play out like they do in the books and I’m like “NOOO!” 😂
Still better than the movies though! Also it’s fun watching and having my memory from reading these books like nearly a decade ago be revived
@kokopium8003 I know. I’m coping as best I can 😭
Please please do a part 2. I would love for you to; specifically, react to the song “Good Kid”. It is Percy’s solo in the musical that perfectly encapsulates his character and what he’s been through. It’s also such a ballad that shows off Chris McCarrel’s (the OG Percy) voice.
The musical is unironically my favorite adaptation of the books which is largely due to the soundtrack never really missing. Just be aware, a handful of the songs have a ton of dialog like the first one did
The way I GASPED when I saw the notification. FINALLY, MORE TLT MUSICAL RECOGNITION! There's a lot of PJO fans who don't even know this is a thing. Edit to say it's always so hilarious to see how close or how off you are to the actual plot 😂 and the cast of the musical is actually so small that multiple actors play multiple roles, like George Salazar who plays both Grover (Percy's friend) and Dyonisus.
0:15 the main series is a five book series:
1. The lightning Thief (June 2005)
2. The Sea Of Monsters (April 2006)
3. The Titans Curse (April 2007)
4. The Battle Of The Labyrinth (May 2008)
5. The Last Olympian (May 2009)
22:18 ‘how has no one seen him for thousands of years?’
The kid singing there is Percy’s friend Grover, who is actually a Satyr and not a half-blood - so when he says Pan is ‘sort of his dad’ he means that satyrs in general are children of Pan (god of the wild), but they aren’t literally his kids. In the story, the satyrs have been searching for Pan for generations.
There are a lot of environmental themes that tie into this in the books!
If you want more music about the greek mythos, I suggest listening to Epic: The Musical. It is not a full musical yet, it is still in its concept stage but the Trojan, Cyclops, and Ocean Sagas are out and it's amazing! Perhaps a video dedicated to each saga is due 👀
YESS absolutely I LOVE EPIC!!!
The next saga is also coming out on Feb 14
CHB stands for Camp Half-Blood and it's a summer camp specifically for demigods.
I saw this musical back in 7th grade on a field trip & it was hands down, the greatest day of my life! I even wore my CHB shirt to school that day 😂
I literally started squealing when I saw this video in my notifications
Welcome to my favorite musical Matt
"punched someone" "exploded something" ironically he's done both and more
It's been almost a year since I've listened to songs from The Lightning Thief: Percy Jackson The Musical! Thanks for popping up with it Matthew. Nice to hear the premise hooked you, especially on the angle of the Greek gods having kids that really struggled with the inevitable neglect.
You need to watch the show now, it's such a fun and faithful adaptation just like this musical was
IM SO HAPPY THAT YOU DID THIS!! I absolutely love this musical! If you’re up for it, I’d love to see you react to more of the songs! :D
I've been listening to the album a lot lately, it's SO GOOD and just keeps getting stuck in my head! Definitely watch some more, my favourites are Good Kid and Drive but the whole lot is fire
Percy Jackson is my favorite book series, so nice to see you react to the songs from the musical. You need to react to more, I definitely need to see Good Kid and My Grand Plan.
Also Drive, D.O.A, Son of Poseidon, The Last Day of Summer and Bring On The Monsters are a must. Heck, just react to all the songs. 😂
Edit: (because I somehow forgot to mention these songs) definitely react to In the Same Boat, Try and Take the Weight.
0:45 “I don’t know the vibe of Percy Jackson. The book, or any of the movies (💀)” 😂
Someone else in the comments recommended "Good Kid", "My Grand Plan", "Put You in Your Place", "The Tree on the Hill" & "Last Day of Summer" and ABSOLUTELY seconded, they're really good and popular!
but just putting it out there, if you were to listen to the "last day of summer", I think it's best to listen to it at the end, because it has major spoilers for the whole story, and also "last day of summer" hits WAYYY harder if you've at least heard "Good Kid" before listening to it
Petition for Matthew to watch the PJO show now to get some clarification on the plot
yessss
Yessss
supporting this petition
frfr
YES
I’m just gonna try and clarify a few things:
•that boy ‘Charlie Beckendorf’ that Silena was holding hands with probably started growing sunflower seeds everywhere (on his body not just gaining magical abilities) just based on the actual video.
•Grover is a satyr, his dad is not Pan, Pan is a god and the chief of satyrs, he went missing long ago.
•the halfbloods are not forced to go to camp it is just a safe place for them to be (most of the time😅). Some half bloods go to Artemis’s huntresses instead and some don’t go at all (which in most cases gets them killed before even knowing they were half bloods) they are usually brought there once they learn their a half blood (because it’s more dangerous once u know) and some stay all year and some stay only in the summer.
•most people (even some of the mortal parents of demigods) in the regular world DOES NOT know that the gods, demigods, satyrs, stuff like that are real because stuff like that is hidden by ‘the mist’ (which few mortals can see through).
I hope I explained that stuff okay, I love these vids❤️!!
and if you make any more videos on this I recommend…
Put You In Your Place (cause you haven’t even met Clarrise yet and that song is such a bop)
Lost! (it very funny and gives u some info)
My Grand Plan (I just love annabeth and it gives u details)
Drive (it’s a dam vibe)
D.O.A. (it’s a little unhinged)
The Last Day of Summer (great song, has lore, definitely no scorpions are harmed in the making of that song)
AND you should make a reaction on the show (the final ep is on 1-30-24 if you wanna wait) or even out of context moments from it and if you don’t wanna do either can we PLEASE🙏 at least have a reaction on THE CONSENSUS SONG Grover sings in ep 3
ANYWAY thanks for reading, here’s some blue pancakes💙🥞🥣
-from a halfblood, child of aphrodite
@tidalimortalyt5692 ya, the lyrics (Silena says) are “… I was walking in the strawberry fields with Charlie Beckendorf and…” I always figured they just wanted to smoosh as many characters names in the musical as they could so they kinda just threw them in but idk
You should react to Team StarKid musical songs! the actors have such amazing singing voices, and you would really like the songs! (there are lots of beautiful harmonies!)
Starkid fan spotted
@@Okay_KodaVODS Yup!
That's great to hear! Percy Jackson books and movies have a way of capturing the imaginations of readers and viewers alike. The songs in The Lightning Thief definitely added to the overall experience, making it even more memorable. It's wonderful that you found them so surprising and enjoyable. It just goes to show the power of a well-crafted soundtrack in enhancing a story. Hopefully, this newfound appreciation for unexpected delights will make reading and watching other adaptations even more exciting for you in the future!
I highly recommend the songs "Strong" "My Grand Plan" and "Lost!" from the musical, though really not gonna lie all of the songs are bangers, and I highly recommend taking the time to find animatics for them so it's easier to visualize
Percy Jackson is played by Chris McCarell, an actor who has been in several Broadway performances, including playing Marius in Les Miserables (on Broadway, not original cast). I saw the original cast of the lightning thief a year before the pandemic in Seattle WA when it was on tour. Unfortunately, it's Broadway run was extremely short post pandemic.
Unfortunately, you NEED to do more hit songs like
Drive
Good Kid (one of the best songs)
D O.A (very disco)
Put You In Your Place
I highly recommend listening to Good Kid, Put You In Your Place, Tree On The Hill and The Last Day Of Summer
I second this, all my favs! ( great taste)
@@rachelq130 thanks 🫶You too 😼
Strong, Good kid, and Lost(In the Woods)
are some of my favorites from this musical.
All of them really 😅
I need part 2 and 3… put you in your place, my grand plan, DOA, son of Poseidon, and more! I’ve been a fan of this musical for years honestly I’m so excited to see your reaction
Just a little context for Camp Halfblood: so like think of a pride camp? It’s like that. It’s a camp Halfblood’s go to to be protected and find more people like them. They also learn about their own gods and history and stuff there. Basically a place for a bunch of depressed kids to be depressed ✨together✨
okay, to answer some of your questions:
the day i got expelled:
- yeah, percy was just going to a normal school at the beginning
- the line about not having done anything wrong is in reference to the day of the field trip, so he wasn't lying :)
- he did get in trouble regularly, partially (like here) because of demigod stuff - there's something called the mist that keeps (most) mortals from noticing magic, so when something happens, percy would inevitably get blamed
- percy and nancy bobofit are in 6th grade, so while she's still a bully, it's not _quite_ as bad as going after kids 10 years younger than her; and percy having been kicked out of 5 schools before actually means he's been expelled every single year
camp:
- half-blood is actually a neutral term, it's just a synonym for demigod
- camp half-blood (also in new york btw!) is one of the few places half-bloods are safe thanks to the wards keeping out monsters, they also get trained there to help them stay alive
- yeah they're sunflowers of the "nature nightmare" variety :')
- "give me ares or apollo" in this case is just referring to their kids, not their domains ^^
- satyrs are all "children of pan" because he's the god of satyrs, but he's not actually grover's father :)
also a part 2 would be great :D my song suggestions would be:
- put you in your place
- good kid
- killer quest
- the tree on the hill
- DOA
- son of poseidon
- the last day of summer
oh also the movies are... not good, so you haven't missed out on anything there
Awesome reaction!!! So excited that you are reacting to this.
Hadestown is another greek mythology-oriented musical you should def check out if you're interested. (:
Also, if you do decide to do a second video on the lightning thief musical, a rlly cool song that has some interesting vocal layering and a catchy melody is 'Lost!'
My personal favourite musical, I'm so glad you've listened to this!
SPOILERS!!!!!!!!
i just want it to be known that Charlie Beckendorf is an awesome dude who sacrificed himself to save the world in the books
Great. Well you just spoiled me 😂
@@Cataly_ely sorry i should have said spoiler warning
WHAT
You should also listen to Good kid, my grand plan, and tree on the hill if you liked these songs!
YES!! I love Good Kid and Another Terrible Day with all my heart
I would love it if you did another one of these! I love the musical so much and I'd love to see you react to it! I highly recommend My Grand Plan (and it has a bunch of animatics) and The Same Boat (I've found some animatics for that one too!)
seeing movie percy on the cover kinda hurts my soul, the musical songs are amazing tho.
Please continue! All of these songs are so great not only musically but at telling the story, truly a great musical!
I NEED to see you watch Good Kid from this musical. It’s one of my favorite musical songs of all time. It just hits, man. My Grand Plan has to be there too, of course.
If you haven't heard it yet, I can really recommend the songs that have been released so far from Epic The Musical! :D It's about the Odyssey and it's sounds so freaking good already! My favourites are "Just a Man", "Warrior of the Mind", "Remember Them", "Keep Your Friends Close" and especially "Ruthlessness"
Haven't watched this yet but I'm excited!!! He's absolutely gotta react to EPIC: The Musical next!!
Id love to see a second video! I think Good Kid, Strong and DOA might be songs you enjoy. And Pick-a-side was a cut song but its SO GOOD
Funny enough, the musical was the more faithful adaptation of Percy Jackson that we had up until the new series that just dropped. We do NOT talk about the movies.
Dude “Good Kid” is the best song in the whole show! You should totally include that one next time! Also great video😁
14:48 during this scene in the musical she gestures down there when she says "everywhere"
I defintiely want to see more. Like Good Kid, Bring on the Monsters, Strong, The Last Day of Summer and of course, Son of [REDACTED] are all great songs to listen too
19:22 In Greek mythology, ambrosia was the food of the gods (and Demi-gods).
Idk ambrosia is a dessert made with oranges and shredded coconut.
If you're planning to listen to more of these. I'd reccomend the songs My Grand Plan and Good Kid at least. Those two are probably my favorite from the musical.
In a somewhat related note. I would recommend the Epic Musical by Jorge. Its a concept album/ musical hes been producing. Its the story of the Odyssey. I think its better good.
Yesss, please do more TLT!!! I’d recommend ‘Strong’, ‘My Grand Plan’, and ‘Good Kid’ ⚡️
My favorite song of this musical is My Grand Plan, its so catchy and it always makes me cry. Lost in the woods is also really fun, its such a bop and so funny
i HIGHLY recommend "DOA" "My Grand Plan" and "Put You In Your Place" !!!!!
Its funny whenever you skip around a musical, the confusion is SO RAW 😂
Please do more of these!! Bring on the Monsters, Last Day of Summer, and Lost! are really good! Especially if you like Greek mythology, I think you’ll enjoy them (and I’ll enjoy watching you lose your mind)
Fun fact that I'm sure somebody already posted, this musical is based on the books called Percy Jackson and Olympians by Rick Riordan. Also, there's musical is better than the movies. By far.Although the TV show series that has happened now on Disney Plus is also pretty good.
Also, CHB stands for Camp Half-Blood.for those who don't know
Also funny enough, the only reason why he got kicked out of schools is because of the monsters attacking him and regular mortals not being able to tell the difference. So they think that he's doing something wrong when in reality he's not doing anything wrong.
. On top of that, in the beginning, he doesn't even know he's a half-blood until much later. Because when you know you're half-blood, you kind of get more smelly to monsters, and they're more likely to attack you. And then brutally murder you.
I've listened to these songs all the time just because they are based on my favorite book, which I've stated above.
i love seeing the percy jackson hype with the show coming out,
i would love to see a reaction to the show next
edit:yeah, if you are already into greek mythology *PLEASE* watch the percy jackson show
