Rob Rokicki (composer), Sarah Beth Pfeifer and Kristin Stokes (actors) all made their Broadway debut this season in The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson musical. The show has had its own hero’s journey: from one-hour school show, to sold-out off-Broadway run, to national tour, to the Longacre Theatre where it is making its home on Broadway through January 5.
In honor of the show’s Broadway bow, we revisit a conversation from April, the day after the tour played New York’s legendary Beacon Theatre.
