"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."

This is a must see show!
"My family loved this show. We have seen countless Broadway shows and this is by far one of the top two or three- even amongst the greats. The cast is very well selected. Every one of them had an amazing voice. The performances were over the top. There were thrills, energy, suspense, shocks and romance and several different types of musical genre for everyone’s interests. I loved the movie growing up, but the show is better than the movie, believe it or not. This is truly a masterpiece. The Toni awards were well deserved and not only that, the cast was so sweet. Nearly all of them came out after the show and spent a very long time thanking the audience and signing autographs for them. True class. Pierre Marais was the understudy, but you would’ve never known it. He deserved that role and definitely owned it. Truly superb in every way. We don’t typically watch shows more than once, but we’ll be going back."

A fun show with a few jump scares!
"We took the whole family, all enjoyed! The parents appreciated the movie references, and the youngest liked the songs. The set changes were awe inspiring, and it was not gory or graphic. Excellent quality of performance and would recommend!"

Not your average musical
"I loved the theatrics and aerial work. Michael and ensemble sing amazingly. Star’s voice is out of this world so she’s aptly named by coincidence. You have to keep an open mind if you’re a fan of the cult classic movie because the play is very loosely based on the movie. It went in new direction but was very well done. I give it an A. "

Great nostalgia
"Anyone who knows the original 80’s movie will love the show based on nostalgia alone…the sets are phenomenal—not just the unbelievably intricate and interesting and ever changing stage but the colors and designs of all of the props. The music was upper-mid, with some achingly beautiful harmonies and great voices standing out. The combo of the music and aerial scenes was truly breathtaking. The first part of the show was much stronger than the second part but overall a total blast and definitely worth seeing! "

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. "

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."

Dissapointed
"One of the rare cases that the movie was better than the stage. Sure, the acting was magnificent. The songs a little weak. The story lacks detail. Overall, this was a poor choice for a musical, in my opinion."

Great singing, good storyline.
"Loved the David role and music. The entire show was really good. The Superpower song felt very forced and like it was added as a later thought. I also noticed most people around did not like that part of the show either, with the exception of 2 or 3 cheers from the back rows, it didn't seem necessary. "

More about the sets than the actual art of singing
"I want to preface this by saying that I always have the utmost appreciation for all the performers, who devote their lives to honing their craft. Unfortunately, the real star of this production is the set design, not the performers.
The music lacked originality and I could not remember a single song by the time the show ended. This wasn't the singers' fault, they made the best out of the mediocre material.
The set design was intricate, to say the least. If you go to musicals to be impressed by the continuously changing sets, this is the musical for you. If you go to musicals to hear original music and layered performances by the actors, this is not the production for you.
Regarding the actors appearing to fly through the air: if I hadn't been familiar with Elizabeth Streb's work over the past 3-4 decades, I would have considered it novel.
I personally found this production utterly forgettable and disappointing from an artistic viewpoint. But if you have young kids and lots of money, I could see it as a fun show.

All God’s Chill’in Are Different
"I like the fact that 99% of the audience people loved this show. It reminded me of my grandmother’s saying “all God’s chill’in are different.” The show is filled with talent, but the story is not one that interests me. Vampires, big hair music, bright lights, and loud sounds are not for me. In complete candor, I left during intermission. The best part of the show was the guy sitting next to me told me the story of the lead actor getting his break on Broadway. The story is too long to tell, but I highly recommend you investigate.
Break a leg"

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.
