Lost Boys Musical on Broadway

Based on the 1987 cult classic film, *The Lost Boys: A New Musical* brings the story of the Emerson family's move to the seaside town of Santa Carla to the stage. The musical features music and lyrics by indie pop/rock band the Rescues, with a book by David Hornsby and Chris Hoch. Directed by Michael Arden, the show opened at the Palace Theatre on Broadway in April 2026.

Attendees can expect a rock-infused score with songs like "Have to Have You" and "Belong to Someone," performed by a cast that brings the iconic characters—Michael, Sam, the Frog Brothers, and the vampire gang led by David—to life. The production includes thrilling motorcycle races, flying sequences, and a battle between the Emersons and the undead.

This musical adaptation captures the mix of horror, comedy, and coming-of-age drama that made the film a beloved classic. With a creative team that includes producers Patrick Wilson, James Carpinello, and Marcus Chait, the show offers a fresh take on the story while honoring its 1980s roots.
