Just listening to the London cast recording of tlt is making me listen to how they changed their delivery of their lines compared to the original recording and I love it. I love them both like THIS MUSICAL OMFG. (This post is just talking about one specific part of Percy’s characterization. But I do have a lot to say about… basically everything. I honestly did try to keep this post short, if you can believe that.)

Chris McCarrell’s Percy is sad and remorseful about not being who other people expect of him(which makes his Good Kid really heartbreaking but I digress that is not what this post is about) but in the lines “you’re not exactly…” “normal?” you can see how much he wants to be like other people and live up to societal expectations. (It’ll take nothing for me to rant about Chris McCarrell’s Percy, I’ve just been looking for an excuse tbh)

Whereas Max Harwood’s Percy is resentful, this Percy has tried to be what other people want him to be so much. He’s mad that adults don’t understand, I noticed this specially when he said the line, “you think I’m trouble, just like everyone else!” In a sense it feels like he’s asking, “why can’t you try to help me?” and it makes the follow up line “well, I’m sorry I let you down.” so impactful.

I was thinking about if they made a sea of monsters musicals, and here are some song titles i came up with lol (in random order)

The Ballad of the Sirens (basically a bunch of harmonies of the sirens and annabeth singing about her vision with the end of the song being percy singing her out of it (bonus points if he's not harmonising with the sirens)(bonus points if percy calms annabeth down and they have a little harmony of their own but in a different key))

Best Man (im a little foggy about this but probably grovers song with a witty punchline like 'its too early for you to be my best man' while making jokes about asking percy to come to his wedding and save him)(it also ends with "ill come save you" "you're the best, man!")

The Guinea Pig Song (Squeak!) (just a 'lost' type of vibe with percy panic singing accompanied by lot of guinea pig squeaks)

Hangry! (basically the tantalus version of 'another terrible day')

A Good Monster (basically tysons song about how he lived alone on the streets, and about how he prayed to poseidon)(yes it is a direct parallel to good kid)

A Good Monster (Reprise)/My Baby Brother (consider this sung by percy at the end of the chariot race, same tune but happier lyrics about how tyson doesnt need to feel like a monster anymore)

War's Daughter (this is DEFINITELY clarisse's song, it could be her talking to ares or a little rumination after that conversation, talking about her arc and little hints of the prophecy she's not telling to the crew)

This Broadway Backwards version of "One Day More" is inspiring and always makes me tear up (and it fits shockingly well to the original lyrics, including/especially the new meaning to "we'll be ready for those schoolboys") , buuuuut I still always laugh at this part:

Aren't you an independent? Aren't you a "lesbitarian"? Angry queens make the best snacks. Anyway, what brings you to the depths of gay despair? Swag. Swa-a-a-a-aaag! Last election, I made myself a duvet cover. Now, I need some pillowcases to remind myself how gay I am. Yeah, uh-huh. Face down in a pillow and you won't need too much reminding. Taste the rainbow, bitch.

Happy Pride, y'all.
