In this episode we chat with Christopher Batkin about which of life's lessons can be learned from the famous young-adult musical - The Lightning Thief the Percy Jackson musical!

Frank Scheck, in reviewing the production for The Hollywood Reporter, wrote that the musical "proves far more enjoyable than the misbegotten 2010 film version or its 2013 sequel" and "also provides an excellent if irreverent introduction to Greek mythology that just might persuade some kids to dig deeper."
