Soooo good!
"I decided on a whim to see this play. Balcony seat, but it was perfect. The use of vertical space for the stage made so much of the good stuff eye level."

Great show
"The show was fabulous, great story, great singing. Good balance of serious and comedy. The music/lyrics were not as great - if the music was just a little better - the show would be the best show on broadway in years. The cast was great, especially Sam, the mom, Star and David (the main vampire). "

Fantastic for many reasons
"If you enjoy a good musical, you will absolutely love this! The vocals were top-notch. The acting and singing is professional and moving. All these people could be huge singing, sensations or movie stars in their own right. If you’re a fan of the lost boys movie, this is a must see! It’s the heart of the story from the movie with a couple little changes for theater. But it was flashback after flashback remembering the best parts of the movie. The technical special effects are perfect! People flying all around the stage movie magic live in front of your eyes, disappearing acts. The way they use the stage was perfect as well. Raising and lowering things into the floor and changing the set constantly with ease that you hardly noticed what was going on. It was just like a movie come to life. There’s not enough good things I can say about it, I would watch it over and over again. "

Nostalgic and new!
"The Lost Boys was the first Broadway show I’ve seen in a long time where I knew nothing about the cast or music — went purely based on my love of ‘80s movie kitsch. The modular set design is dynamite and the special effects are a wild ride. Most of the cast have great voices and a few of the songs are actually memorable. The best part is that the directors stay pretty true to the storyline, yet deviate just enough to make it feel fresh and relevant to today. Like the movie, the musical also doesn’t take itself too seriously, making it a ton of fun. And the silly grin that my wife had on her face from the opening scene to the closing cliffhanger made the whole show absolutely worth it. Five stars; will definitely recommend."

Absolutely Blown Away!
"A long time fan of original The Lost Boys and this was my first Broadway show. Totally worth the experience! The stage design, effects, and costumes are all stellar, and the actresses in particular have strong vocals that lend themselves well to the songs. The first act is especially strong and the energy was amazing. I was absolutely blown away by the performance and it's obvious everyone involved with the cast and crew was determined to keep the spirit of the original alive while also making it something new. Whether you are a fan of The Lost Boys or a newcomer, I can't recommend the musical adaptation enough! "

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.
