This is one Fly Musical
"This show is full of surprises and if you know anything about tech theater you're going to love it no matter what. If you've seen the movie you will appreciate how the adapted the material. But you don't need to have seen the movie too appreciate it. This music could have been a little catcher but overall the entire show was amazing."

Great spectacle, super nostalgic
"This show definitely hit the nostalgia spot for those who loved the movie. But it updated the story, and added some much needed context too, too. Good show for for older kids... PG-13, maybe a little younger. Not suitable for younger children."

Tim Cappello
"Brilliant show. I am a GEN Xer and have seen the movie over 200 times. I still have the laser disc of the movie. This was novel and well done. The set design was the best I have ever seen of any show on or off Broadway. The acting and singing was brilliant. Just a brilliant show that had tid bits from the movie that made it familiar to those of us old people and still exciting and new. The homage to Tim Cappello was well done. I want to give this five stars but I cannot do that because I needed to hear the lyrics to “Still Believe” in some form or fashion. Even if the sax player played like four notes of the song it would have tied it all together. The boardwalk/Tim Cappello scene is the most iconic scene of the movie——It needs to be given the weight it deserves. I would watch this again. It was excellent. "

About The Lost Boys, A New Musical

With 12 Tony AwardⓇ nominations, including Best Musical, The Lost Boys is the most Tony-nominated musical of 2026. 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 Lucy (two-time Tony AwardⓇ nominee Shoshana Bean) and her teenage sons Michael and Sam move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging. As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a startling reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.

Based on the classic Warner Bros. film, The Lost Boys is “an eye-popping tour de force” (Chicago Tribune) directed by two-time Tony Award winner Michael Arden (Maybe Happy Ending, Parade). The production features music and lyrics by The Rescues, a book by David Hornsby and Chris Hoch, choreography by 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.
