The Lightning Thief Musical Fancast
Project Overview
Hello! I love this musical and really haven't seen any fancasts for it, so I thought it'd be fun to put one up! Please read the rules before auditioning.
Also, I just pulled the character descriptions from the original off-Broadway casting call.
Rules/Notes:
- You are allowed to audition for as many roles as you would like!
- Please try to have as little background noise as possible in your audition. You may use an accompaniment or sing acapella.
- Any gender is welcome to audition for any role!
- You may sing as many of the song selections listed as you would like; however, you do not have to sing all of them.
- Introduce yourself in your audio before you sing so I can hear what your speaking voice sounds like.
- If you know your vocal range in notes, please state it with your introduction before your audition. It's completely okay if you don't.
- I will not be casting any of the roles until after the deadline. That way, everyone has a fair chance.
- That's about it! Have fun and good luck!

I never meant to hurt anyone
I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid
A good kid
Who’s had a bad runAn all I need is one last chance

I’m good enough for someone(NOTE: This selection is from "Prologue / The Day I Got Expelled." Please sing it in its original key.)
Look!
I didn't wanna be a half-blood
I didn't ask to be a hero seeking praise
Being a half-blood, it's scary
It mostly gets you killed in very nasty ways
I didn't want to cause trouble, trouble
I'm less a player and more the played
And, honestly, I'd be totally be fine
If I could make it to the next grade, next grade
It wasn't dirty socks or my stepdad
It was danger that I smelled
The day it all went down
The day I got expelled(NOTE: This selection is from "The Campfire Song." Please sing it in its original key.)
So my dad is some god
That's great I guess...
Did he not want me? Or not want the stress?
Too bad he's the worst, and my life is a mess
Oh no
I hope he shows even a trace
Cause I got some choice words to throw in his face!

My grand plan is that I will be remembered

And your dad won’t give the time of day
And your mom won’t trust you with a quest
So the best thing you could do is run away
Run away(NOTE: This selection is from "The Campfire Song." Please sing it in its original key.)
My mom's Athena
She's smart and she's wise

But if she came to camp, it'd be a surprise
Oh no
Oh, and my stepmom, she hates me, and my dad works all day
So I left Virginia and I ran away(NOTE: This selection is from "Lost!" Please sing it in its original key.)
We're lost in the world
And the world is freaking awful
And we're never gonna make it to LA

Another terrible day
At Camp Half-blood
Where everything's the worst
Another terrible day
You can hate it here
But I hated it first
Just another terrible day
Stuck with these runts
In the muck and mud
Another terrible day
Oh gods
I need a drink
Enjoy your stay
At Camp Half-blood(NOTE: This selection is from "The Tree on the Hill." Please sing it in its original key.)
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(NOTE: This selection is from "The Campfire Song." Please sing it in its original key.)
I'm a child of Pan

When your dad's a god, life can be tough
I met the guy once, and once was enough(NOTE: This selection is from "Drive." Please sing it in its original key.)

Stay ahead
Stay ahead
And stay alive

Blue food isn't normal
Blue food is strange
And that's why it's my favorite
I never want it to change
To make it boring orange or green
Why be blah

Normal is a myth
