Get The Lost Boys tickets to see the cult-classic movie on Broadway. The Lost Boys musical follows two adolescent brothers who move with their mom to a fictional town only to discover the town’s thriving vampire population. What’s your teenage years without a little romance, family drama…and vampire hunters?
The musical takes a bite out of the 1987’s film’s style: audiences can expect a thrilling, puppy, and erotically charged new musical about coming of age, even alongside the undead.
Tony Award winner Michael Arden (Maybe Happy Ending, Parade, Once on This Island) directs The Lost Boys on Broadway, coming to the Palace Theatre. This spellbinding New York premiere features a book by David Hornsby (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Chris Hoch and a score by the L.A.-based The Rescues (Kyler England, Adrianne Gonzalez, and Gabriel Mann), including existing songs by the group reworked for the show.
Joel Schumacher’s 1987 film helped raise the profile of stars Kiefer Sutherland, Corey Haim, Jason Patric, Dianne Wiest, and Alex Winter. Now, a new generation will bring this story to life under Arden’s assured direction.
“Michael Arden is one of the most dynamic directors working today, and to have him reimagine an iconic film like The Lost Boys is thrilling,” said producers James Carpinello, Marcus Chait, and Tony nominee Patrick Wilson in a statement. “David Hornsby and Chris Hoch have done a remarkable job of honoring this classic film and its beloved characters, creating something new and unique for the stage that will excite the die-hard fans of the movie as well as those being introduced to this timeless story for the first time.”
The original film won the award for Best Horror Film by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror and surely helped launch further pop culture vampires, as with the Twilight series.
