Mythos, Music and an Evening Full of Electric Tension
With Percy Jackson - The Lightning Thief, the Young Theater Bonn brings a musical to the stage that transforms adventure, coming-of-age, and Greek mythology into a thrilling theater evening. The production is based on the bestseller by Rick Riordan, announced as the German-language premiere for Bonn, and comes in cooperation with the Bonn Theater. Directed by Bernard Niemeyer, with musical direction by Ekaterina Klewitz. The piece is recommended for audiences aged 10 and up and lasts approximately 120 minutes including an intermission.

A Fantasy Myth with Rock Energy
The story begins where everyday chaos suddenly becomes a world-breaking event: Percy discovers that he is a demigod and gets caught in a whirlpool of divine wrath, guilt, and the quest for his own identity. Rick Riordan's template combines modern youth storytelling with ancient mythological worlds; the musical version translates this mix into an energetic rock score and a pointed stage rhythm. This is exactly where the appeal of this stage experience lies: classical mythology meets the present, humor meets danger, youthful rebellion meets grand theatrical images.

Direction, Sound and a Strong Ensemble
The production relies on pace and clear theatrical signals. Bernard Niemeyer shapes the narrative as a multifaceted sequence of trials, encounters, and revelations, while Ekaterina Klewitz maintains the musical energy. Stage design, costumes, and choreography draw on the adventure format and provide the evening with that visual impact that is particularly important in children's and youth theater: precise images, clear characters, immediate audience reactions. The Young Theater Bonn thus builds on its long experience in music and youth theater.

The Young Theater Bonn as a Suitable Venue
The JTB at Hermannstraße 50 is considered a staple for young audiences in Bonn. The venue has been designed to be as barrier-free as possible since its renovation in 2016; access to the stage in Beuel is via the Beuel Krankenhaus stop directly at the theater or a short walk from Konrad-Adenauer-Platz. Parking is available opposite the theater as well as in the Brückenforum. In the immediate vicinity, café offerings and a vibrant theater atmosphere ensure that the visit begins even before the curtain rises.
