    Vidar Hjardeng MBE - The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical AD theatre review

    RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the channel Islands for another audio described theatre review. This time we have the arrival of the Percy Jackson universe to the Birmingham Hippodrome with ‘The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical’ following on from Rick Riordan’s best-selling novels, the two movies and the Disney TV series too with description by Professional Audio Describer Caroline Burn. About ‘The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical’ When 16-year-old Percy Jackson discovers that he is the half-blood son of the Greek God, Poseidon, his life takes a dramatic turn as he is plunged into a world much bigger than he could possibly have imagined. With newly-discovered powers he can’t control, a destiny he doesn’t want and a whole mythology textbook’s worth of mythical monsters on his tail, Percy must learn what it means to be a hero. The future of the world hangs in the balance as Percy and his friends embark on an epic adventure that will have you on the edge of your seat. Over the past 20 years, Percy Jackson has become a worldwide phenomenon. First there was the best-selling series of books, then two incredible films and a Disney TV series. Now the adventures of Percy Jackson will burst onto the stage at Birmingham Hippodrome. It’s the perfect adventure for gods and mortals of all ages with a gripping story that shows that ‘normal’ really is a myth!
