MuggleNet had the opportunity to get a preview of the Percy Jackson Musical that will be heading out on a national tour after running off-Broadway in New York City.

Oh gods, hes drinking coke, even the actor knows more about the books than the movies

[@mirandabee2323]

Jorrel Javier grew up on the books too! He knew all about this story going in!

[@yaboimusicalfan9719]

He says it’s the only way he made it through middle school

[@juliusroman8616]

Almost anyone knows more about PJO than the movies.

Percy looks so traumatized at the end hahaha 😂

Tessa Flynn the whole time he’s like who the hell is this

[@Kay-pq4qt]

yep

[@haleydukich8505]

Did anyone else notice how the girl playing Katie Gardner at the end was holding a save the trees sign😂😂😂

[@luuuuux_]

I was laughing so much when I saw it in a bootleg. It was hilarious.

[@JustanormalOof-em4eh]

Do you happen to still have the link?

[@SadChatt]

I almost can’t hear a difference between him and George. I’m actually pretty happy with this

[@guessmyname1246]

So good!

[@themelodystar4286]

I love Jorrel's resistance throughout the song to break into dance and Sarah's characters being hurt (both physically and emotionally)

[@ijustcantanymore5017]

That high kick tho

[@shadowkittycat97]

Ok but why is no one talking about the guy who plays Chiron and his Fucking horse walk and tail movements that was hilarious

It was so extra i love it HAHAHAHA

[@stephpiano2908]

THAT BUT ROLL THO

[@mimigabugabu6858]

The way he just LKSNJFKJISJ OUTTA THE WHEELCHAIR WAS HILARIOUS-

[@zantyyoutube7270]

I wasn’t expecting his legs to be so long, it scared me for a second 😭😂

[@CardcaptorKatara1992]

the fact that he just sharpens a pencil to freak Katie out is hilarious

[@leaf6963]

Luke casually showing off his sword skills at the background amidst Percy's confusion at 3:41 😂

Oh, I was wondering who was on the trolley

Me neither . No what I don't think anyone was .

[@eid6584]

At first I was thinking it would be impossible to replace George but this dude is amazing! He's even scaring me

[@sanora_4971]

It’s hard to find a suitable replacement for George Salazar, but this guy is KILLING it! Excited to see him in May!

[@hannahjohnson4322]

Sanora _ Where are you seeing it? I’m seeing it in San Jose

[@mokezhiyu678]

Im seeing it at cobb art centre

[@ender4344]

You commented this twice wow

[@emmaltheriot]

Jorrel really snapped when he did this. If y'all wanna see other things he's in, just look up Texas Musical Theatre, he graduated from there last year I think??

[@hannahjohnson4322]

Emma Theriot wait WAIT is he headband guy from chorus line? the one who looks down (idk the character) in I Hope I Get It???

[@orepheus18]

@@hannahjohnson4322 yeah.

[@Jun1_p3r_]

omg.... The actor for Chrion has got some moves *literally wheezing* How does chris and George keep a straight face XDDDDD

[@jaydenbutler6929]

I'm kinda sad that I don't get to see George in this musical in May, but this guy seems pretty good. Also at least Chris McCarrell is still in it

[@ChargerBulldogs19]

iCY HOT and most of the original major cast is back with Chris. Basically everyone came back minus George (because Be More Chill is on off-broadway now), the guy who played Chiron and the lovely woman who played Sally Jackson and Selena, among other characters.

[@anneliese2874]

Guys just pause at 1:38 his face is literally the persona of a perfect Dionysus! Also, his timing at 3:10 is perfect.

[@una_10bananas]

Yeah I live for the timing of those little movements

[@arivetalt8528]

he gets out of his wheelchair and everyone just starts having a mental breakdown

[@remyrot77]

they managed to find someone who can play both grover and mr d amazingly not once but TWICE!! whoever's in charge of casting for this musical deserves a raise right this second please and thank u

[@krissiecreates]

That one guy has some long leggies

[@motherforest8637]

I know right!

[@JaneDoeSignedHancock]

He's so graceful!

[@bestieestie]

mr Brunner's hip wiggle has shaken me to my core

[@Kay-pq4qt]

that do be very true

[@ashleyrcaldwell]

George was the OG and I love him more than everything, but jorrel is doing AMAZING at filling George’s shoes!!

[@archnemesis8271]

Okay, but why did I look at their shoes after I read this???

chiron is beautiful. that's all.

I was out of breath just watching that major kudos for actually performing it

[@smolten0015]

The way he says wood nymph gives me life.

[@fluffycloudsandvelvetskies2813]

dionysus having a stroke every 5 seconds is a mood

[@yaboimusicalfan9719]

Just so everyone knows, “the guy who replaced George” is named Jorrel Javier. He is beautiful. I personally believe he portrays the characters better, yes, George can sing well, but only a true and complete fan can portray the characters this well

[@KenYouFeelTheKenergy]

Its REALLY hard to replace George Salazr but Jorrel is doing an AWESOME job! Can't wait to see them in June

[@sofiabelgiovine2085]

JORREL IS SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD

[@Macyisamazing]

HOW THE FUCK DID I NOT RECOGNIZE GEORGES VOICE I HAVE BEEN OBSESSED WITH MICHEAL IN THE BATHROOM AND HAVE BASICALLY MEMORIZED HIS VOICE OH MY GOD

[@juliusroman8616]

I never realized how dangerous Mr. D is. And unpredictable.

[@carrotandpeas]

Mr. D has the fury of a passionate theater kid, the unpredictability of a box of chocolates, the mindset of a depressed teen, and the heart of wine.

[@nameistotallyelise]

nobody: jorrel: hi i’m here to prove that i can be as good as george

oh my gosh jorrel is doing such an incredible job!! i love him so much skjsksks 💓

The way he came out of the wheelchair 😂

I was really surprised when I clicked and it wasn't George but I'm not disappointed, great job!

The ironic thing is that that sign is probably made of trees.

[@bluestained_fingertips]

Why is no one talking about Kristin rolling James behind everyone while he shows off his sword skills as Luke, because that was honestly p r i c e l e s s. (And Sarah Beth with the “Save The Trees” sign as Katie = very funny as well) (Also: God I love Jorrel)

[@bigonbooks4736]

I saw this a few weeks ago and I LOVED him in the part!

[@interestingmouse9961]

I've met this guy, he's so cool, and very chill. I also saw the show, it was good!

[@gigi1025_]

When he said the first line I was like............ George???? They kinda sound alike 😳😳😳

Annabeth and Luke in the back at the end hahaha

[@froggiechile4385]

I watched the musical and it was amazing! Another terrible day is one of my favorite songs! It’s amazing!!!

[@melodyfussell829]

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT CHIRON PRANCING AROUND EVERYWHERE? I COMPLETELY LOST IT

[@annika12]

When I watched them in Charlotte, I think I heard Selena say “the tea” as she cried walking on stage. I really hope I didn’t mishear bc it was hilarious

[@kelpie3551]

His actions are amazing! There so exaggerated, which is just like Mr. D.

[@kimbrulee_the_musical]

Poor Chris. He looks horrified. His face when he realized Chiron was a centaur tho...

[@GrayShadowOfNight]

Holy fuck that's the best Not-George I've ever seen!!!

Jorrel IS SO FREAKING GOOD
