Percy is the lead in this musical. I am looking for someone with a strong belt, familiarity with the musical, and with a voice in a feminine range. Please be able to show emotion whilst singing!
All the schools in six years
Every battle, everyday
No one ever tells me that they're proud
No one asks me
"Percy, how'd you like to come round and stay?"
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
(Good Kid - The Lightning Thief)
(Spoken)
How do you feel about a lot of it?
(Sung)
I'm
The
Son of Poseidon
I never asked to be
But I'm the son of Poseidon
Now face the tide
Inside me
(Son of Poseidon - The Lightning Thief)
So if you think you are a halfblood
Better get headed to the exits now
'Cause folks will think you're lying
Better run and don't start crying
'Cause you're monster chow
Or stick around and maybe you'll learn from me
This ain't Odysseus' Odyssey
So hear me out
If you're so compelled
(Prologue - The Lightning Thief)
Annabeth is another lead voice in this musical. I am looking for a masculine voice with a very strong belt.
But I have a plan
And I will be remembered
I will be great
Just wait and see
You better wise up, cause I'll rise up
Bring on any challenge
And someday soon, I swear
I don't know how or when
But I promise you
I'll never be invisible again
Someone will notice
Me
(My Grand Plan - The Lightning Thief)
Every demi has a special skill
Speed or brains or the strength of will
But she-she's gonna take a special spill
Right to the bottom of the biggest hill
(Put You In Your Place - The Lightning Thief)
Five long years stuck at camp
Underneath Athena's locked down clamp
Been waiting for my chance
To prove I'm champ
I've got mad battle strategy
My mom will be impressed
I'm coming on your killer quest
(Killer Quest - Lightning Thief)
Grover is our 3rd lead role in this musical. The hardest part for her will be translating some of those low notes/being able to hit them. I would like a strong, feminine voice for this role!
And there on the Hill
Up on Half-Blood Hill
A cold wind blew
Dark and chill
For nothing would slake its wrathful will
We had to make a stand-
And maybe if I'd been a little bit braver
Maybe if I stayed behind to fight
But "maybe" doesn't let me go back and save her
"Maybe" doesn't make it alright
(The Tree on the Hill - The Lightning Thief - Bring that EMOTION!)
All your worries
Come in flurries
But we bested freakin’ Furies!
Look how far we’ve come, we can't give in
It’s one foot forward at a time
Dust off all that grit and grime
We still got a lot left to do
‘Cause people are counting on us
And I'm counting on you
(Drive - The Lightning Thief)
I'm a child of Pan
God of the wild
For those who love nature, they're often beguiled
He's not really my dad, but I'm sort of his child...
Oh no...
(The Campfire Song - The Lightning Thief)
Sally is Percy's mother (turned father due to genderbending) in the musical. SHe has one large song, then smaller parts in others. I want a soft, masculine, fatherly voice for this role!
And there's a place
You need to go
Where you belong
Where the things that make you different
Are the things that make you special
Special like your father
Yes, Percy, you are special
Like food the color blue
All the things that make you, you
Are the things
That will make you
Strong
So be strong
(Strong - The Lightning Thief)
Chiron is Percy's mentor throughout the story. She is the camp director and leads Percy to Camp Half Blood! I would like a stronger, feminine voice with a teacher-esc tone.
You have to be patient
A sign that the gods have a plan
I know that the future looks blurry
But, not to worry, just do what you can
Yes, the gods are very real
Though they often won't reveal
Who they are, what they want, their design
Have faith, keep your chin up
We'll help you adjust
And trust you will see their sign
(Their Sign - The Lightning Thief)
(Spoken)
The Greek gods! Almighty titans of earth, sea, and sky! But even they were children once. And they didn't have it easy! Their father, Kronos, feared the day his children would one day inherit the earth. So what did he do?
Anyone? Anyone?
Mrs. D, or Dionysus, is stuck at camp after being punished by Zeus for disobeying him. I am looking for a raspy, feminine voice with a don't-care attitude!
Oh, you're alive
I suppose that's good news for you
But it means a lot more paperwork for me
So don't expect me to be happy to see you
Of course, being alive is temporary
(Spoken)
So, maybe if I go away and play pinochle for a few hours, things might improve. For me. Not for you. You'd be dead.
(Sung)
Great!
You haven't been debriefed
This is way out of my pay grade
Which is saying a lot
'Cause I don't get paid
(Spoken)
Someone find Professor Hay-for-breath and tell him Peter Johnson is awake, so he better clip-clop over here!
(Another Terrible Day - The Lightning Thief)
Clarisse is the child of Ares. He is very jealous of Percy for her feats with the minotaur and also has a strong fighting spirit. I am looking for a very strong, powerful masculine voice!
Don't mean to boast, don't mean to brag
But you losers are a total drag
I feel your spirits starting to sag
She could capture your heart
I'm gonna c-c-c-c-capture the flag!
I'll put you in
I'll put you in
I'll put you in your place
I'll put you in
I'll put you in
I'll put you in your place
(Put You In Your Place - The Lightning Thief)
[OPTIONAL]
There's a war going down, yeah maybe, yeah maybe
We don't know who to blame, but it's a battle just the same
And it's real this time, it ain't some game
We'll have to pick a side because this could be do or die!
We need to know just where your loyalties lie!
(Pick a Side - The Lightning Thief)
Charon is our only gender-neutral role! I am open to literally any voice for this part, and I would love to see what you can do! They are the ferryman to the underworld!
Down here you're D.O.A.
And you're here to stay
Yeah, you're stuck forever
Never get away
No hope of survival
You're dead on arrival!
Dead on arrival
Oooh yeah!
You ain't ever gonna save what matters
You ain't gonna protect your friends
You ain't ever gonna be remembered
This is where your story ends
Today
D.O.A.!
(D.O.A. - The Lightning Thief)
Selena is the child of Aphrodite. He is very dramatic! I am open to any male voice type for this role!
The goddess of love
My mom's Aphrodite
She tries to be cool but mainly she's flighty
I'll bring home a boy, and she's there in her nightie
(Spoken)
It's so embarrassing, guys!
(Sung)
I tried to seek help from even the fates
Cause she steals my mascara and all of my dates
(The Campfire Song - The Lightning Thief)
[OPTIONAL]
But just in case, she's in my sight!
I'm gonna pick a side cause this could be do or die!
We need to know just where your loyalties lie!
(Pick a Side - The Lightning Thief)
Katie is the son of Demeter. I am open to any male voice type for this role!
My mom's Demeter
Goddess of grain
She gets excited when it starts to rain
But planting and planting and planting's a pain
Oh no
Right?
For their sixteenth birthday, my friends got a car
I got a fern in some dumb mason jar
(The Campfire Song - The Lightning Thief)
Ares is the god of war, I want her to have a raspier voice and exude that "cool" energy.
Ha!
Your mouth's talking trash
You better rinse it
Your meat is minced
I'm here to mince it
I'm gonna have my war
Now give me some space
I'm gonna wipe that stupid head off of your stupid face
(Son of Poseidon - The Lightning Thief)
(Spoken)
I have that effect.
Ares, god of war. Maybe you've met my daughter - Clarisse?
Wh-o-oa, whoa, relax, I come in peace! I hear you runts are headed to Hades, but you'll never make it on public transportation. I can take you as far as Vegas.
Y’all cool with motorcycles, right?
(Drive - The Lightning Thief)
