UP Beacon Review Highlights:
"Like the book, Percy’s teacher, Mrs. Dodds, is discovered to be a monstrous fury, with long black wings appearing from underneath her clothing almost instantaneously. The wings are long and intricate, signaling to the audience that more detailed effects are in store."
"The event in question was when the audience meets 
the Minotaur, boasting a pair of realistically glowing red eyes and around 10 feet of a chilling black cloak. With the theater nearly pitch black, the monster’s eyes felt hauntingly real as it separated Percy from his mother."
