The Lost Boys, A New Musical is set to make its highly anticipated Broadway premiere in spring 2026, adapting the iconic 1987 Warner Bros. cult-classic vampire film into a thrilling pop-rock stage spectacle. Directed by two-time Tony Award winner Michael Arden (Parade, Maybe Happy Ending), the show features music and lyrics by the rock band The Rescues, a book by David Hornsby (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Chris Hoch, choreography by Lauren Yalango-Grant and Christopher Cree Grant, and music supervision by Tony nominee Ethan Popp (Tina: The Tina Turner Musical).
This fresh take on the story of a family moving to the foggy coastal town of Santa Carla—only to discover its vampire underbelly—promises dark humor, high-energy numbers, aerial elements, and a killer soundtrack blending The Rescues’ hits with new songs. Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait, and Patrick Wilson, it’s poised to be a must-see for fans of the original film (starring Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Patric, Corey Haim, and Corey Feldman) and Broadway musical lovers alike.
