A Thrill Ride From Start To Finish!
"As a fan of the original movie, I went in with high hopes, and my expectations were beyond exceeded! An energetic and fantastic cast, mixed with visually dynamic staging, had my attention captured the entire performance. And the cherry on top was the music itself; perfectly blending musical theatre and 80's flair. There are some parts that may be too mature for young children, but this show will entertain a crowd of all ages. Whether you have seen the movie or not, I cannot recommend this show enough! "

Fabulous story, vocals and effects
"Wonderful story with amazing sets that transform seemlessly enhancing the experience. The actors are all very experienced and the vocals speak for themselves. I would see it again in a heartbeat. The play on 80s cliches is also well done and very funny."

Excellent effects, cast/characters, and writing!
"The stage effects, scenery, stage management, cast, characters, writing, music - everything was amazing. Really well-done and well-paced. The time flew by, and I loved every minute. They also stayed mostly true to the original movie and had a lot of cute callbacks to the 80s. Highly recommend!"

Best Broadway Show to Date
"The Lost Boys on Broadway is a triumphant, rock-infused masterpiece that effortlessly earns its title as the absolute best show on Broadway right now. From the moment the curtain rises, the production plunges you into a dark, electric world that feels both beautifully nostalgic and thrillingly modern.The staging is nothing short of breathtaking. Immersive set designs, dynamic choreography, and a stellar lighting palette recreate Santa Carla’s gritty, neon-soaked boardwalk with incredible atmosphere. What truly elevates this production, however, is its spectacular soundtrack. The powerhouse vocals and reimagined rock anthems bring an undeniable, raw energy that keeps your heart pounding from start to finish.The cast delivers phenomenal, high-octane performances, balancing the fierce tension of the vampire underworld with genuine emotional depth and sharp, witty humor. Every scene is tightly paced, captivating, and overflowing with style. I was completely spellbound by the sheer talent and creativity on display.Whether you are a die-hard fan of the original story or a newcomer looking for a spectacular night of theater, this show is an absolute must-see. It is an unforgettable, adrenaline-fueled ride that I completely loved and cannot wait to experience again."

About The Lost Boys, A New Musical

Get ready for the ride of your life with The Lost Boys, the most Tony Award®-winning new musical of the year. It’s a “thrilling, blockbuster event” (People), “a breathtaking adventure unlike any musical seen before” (New York Post), and “the best new musical of the season” (The Washington Post).

When Michael moves to California with his younger brother Sam and their mother Lucy, he’s desperate to leave his old life behind and start fresh. A wild night out on the boardwalk finds him in the shadows of Santa Carla and brings him face-to-face with David, the magnetic leader of a local rock band. David and his bandmates offer Michael freedom, adventure, and the connection he’s been longing to find. But when the band’s dark secret finally comes out, Michael must decide how far he’s willing to go to belong.

Based on the classic Warner Bros. film, The Lost Boys is “a jaw-dropping, rock-fueled must-see” (Cosmopolitan) featuring Tony-winning performances from Shoshana Bean and Ali Louis Bourzgui. Directed by three-time Tony winner Michael Arden (Maybe Happy Ending, Parade), the production features Tony-nominated music and lyrics by The Rescues, a book by Tony nominees David Hornsby and Chris Hoch, choreography by Tony nominees Lauren Yalango-Grant and Christopher Cree Grant (Parade), and music supervision by Tony nominee Ethan Popp (Tina). The Lost Boys is produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait, and Patrick Wilson.
