Adapted from Rick Riordan's bestselling YA book, this "electrifying" ("Newsday") pop-rock musical finds Percy Jackson in hot water at school -- again. But he's got bigger fish to fry. Lately, mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology textbook and into his life, and he seems to have angered a few of them along the way. Now, young Percy and his newfound friends must race against the hourglass to solve the mystery of Zeus' stolen lightning bolt and set things right on Mount Olympus. Nominated for three Drama Desk Awards including Best Musical, "The Lightning Thief" comes to the Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale in a production deemed "worthy of the gods" by "TimeOut New York."

Written by Monty Python alum Eric Idle, "Spamalot" is a musical parody extravaganza that borrows lovingly (and unapologetically) from the film classic "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". In telling the tale of King Arthur and his epic quest with the Knights of the Round Table, this absurd show -- which won three Tony Awards, including Best Musical, during its original Broadway run -- features beautiful showgirls and outlandish oddities such as flatulent Frenchmen, flying cows, killer rabbits and The Knights Who Say Ni. If you're in need of an irreverent reminder to "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life," look no further than "Monty Python's Spamalot" in Delray Beach at Crest Theatre at Old School Square. [less-]
