Good show, limited view seating
"We enjoyed the show, even though the plot was different than the movie. Unfortunately the seats we purchased that were in the back of the mezzanine had a limiting view due to the balcony overhanging right above. That was not made clear to us when purchasing the tickets. We could not see the top half of the stage. The guests sitting to the right of us were just as confused as us when arriving to the seats as the view was not at all what any of us expected based on the seating map. What we could see looked good and the voices and performance were great otherwise."

This show has taken up permanent residence in my brain!
"We saw “The Lost Boys” at the Palace Theatre, and someone is going to have to physically remove this show from my brain, because it has taken up permanent residence there. Some highs, some not so high— here’s my take. First: Shoshana Bean. As Lucy Emerson, she is an absolute force of nature. That voice. That heart. That woman could sing the phone book and I would sob through every page. She brings raw, grounded humanity to a story about vampires on a California boardwalk — and somehow that makes complete sense, because she is just that good. My only complaint? She’s totally underused. The rest of the cast deserves cudos as well. LJ Benet as Michael, Benjamin Pajak as Sam, Ali Louis Bourzgui as David — everyone brought it. The ensemble was fantastic and underappreciated, and the aerial choreography was pretty cool The opening minutes blew me away, but the first act dragged a bit. Fortunately, Act 2 more than redeems it. As for the 12 Tony nominations, including Best Musical — I’m genuinely torn. It’s a good show, but I’m not sure it’s innovative enough to stand at that level. Then again, the three shows we saw before this set the bar pretty high."

Loud and gruesome
"Sets and special effects were great. Music a bit too heavy metal for me. "

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.
