Great fun and didn't know the story
"All I knew was it was 80's rock like music. It was a friends first choice for her bday. Someone said, "oh you're going the vampire show." What? I had no idea it had vampires lol, but I found it well done and very entertaining."

AMAZING
"Lost Boys was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. The vocals were outstanding, the dancing was fantastic, and the entire production felt like being at an incredible live concert. The lighting effects, flying sequences, and unexpected moments added so much excitement and spectacle. Beyond the impressive visuals, the character development drew me into the story and kept me emotionally invested. The costumes were fantastic and perfectly complemented the show's style and atmosphere. The production balanced drama, humor, and heartfelt moments beautifully, making it both entertaining and meaningful. The ending was the perfect finish to an unforgettable performance. My daughter (age 16) and I saw it together - and we TRULY loved it. Not sure if it would be appropriate for younger kids - but perfect for teens!"

I was blown away...
"I was familiar with the movie, and knew a couple of the songs that had been released a few months before the cast album that I really enjoyed, so I was expecting to like the show, but was unprepared for how phenomenal it would all come together! I was absolutely floored by intermission with how impressive everything looked and sounded. The music was powerful, the set was amazing with all the moving parts, and the tech of the show were one of the best things I've seen on stage. So far I have already told several friends they NEED to see this show, and will continue singing it's praises. I'm already planning a 2nd and/or 3rd trip to see it again! "

Retro, Proud, and Technically Masterful
"The Lost Boys shines as a new and exciting rendition of its movie counterpart. The musical has a wonderful blend of familiar beats while still engaging fans of the original film with unique differences. Between the 80s vibe, the coming of age hits, as well as the advancements of stage design and technology, The Lost Boys is a must see show. The performances are highlights for many, showcasing hilarious, dark, sad, and sometimes shocking moments. All together, this show deserves its accolades as it delivers for newer and older audiences alike. "

I have finally found the one...
"This was so great. I'm a genXer and found this the perfect mix of nostalgia, funny, exciting and entertaining. Musical theater is not my favorite medium of art (I even struggled with Hamilton), but this was totally enjoyable! Even my husband and 14 year old son loved it. The actors, music and sets were fantastic."

Different enough from the movie to be fresh…
"I never thought I could love a musical based on one of my favorite movies. But wow, we were blown away. The cast was amazing. The songs were wonderful. It is different enough from the movie to be fresh but has so much of the nostalgia that it made me feel like I was in the 80s again. Language can be a little rough for some of the smaller children. But tweens and teens will love the songs and the fashions just like we did at their age. We do hope to catch it 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.
