The cult 1987 vampire film bites into Broadway as a thrilling new musical at the Palace Theatre. Fangs out.
The Lost Boys: A New Musical brings the beloved 1987 vampire cult classic to Broadway with a pulse-pounding rock score and supernatural thrills. Set in the deceptively sunny coastal town of Santa Carla, this new musical follows a mother and her two teenage sons as they search for a fresh start but instead discover the town's sinister secrets lurking beneath its perfect facade.
When older brother Michael becomes drawn to a mysterious local rock band and its enigmatic leader David, younger brother Sam uncovers a chilling truth about their new home. The family must fight to survive the darkness that emerges after sunset, or risk becoming the next faces on Santa Carla's growing collection of missing person posters. With music and lyrics by The Rescues and direction by Tony Award winner Michael Arden, this production combines family drama with rock music and vampire mythology.
The stellar cast includes LJ Benet as Michael Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Shoshana Bean as Lucy, Ali Louis Bourzgui as David, Maria Wirries as Star, and Paul Alexander Nolan as Max. The show features fan-favourite songs including "Cry Little Sister," "Lost in the Shadows," and "People Are Strange," brought to life with aerial choreography and theatrical design that captures the supernatural elements of the story.
The Lost Boys: A New Musical opens at the Palace Theatre on 27th March 2026 for a limited run through 22nd November 2026. The runtime has not yet been confirmed, but you can expect a full evening of entertainment with the typical Broadway structure of two acts separated by an interval.
The Palace Theatre provides the perfect backdrop for this supernatural tale, with its grand 1,743-seat auditorium and rich theatrical history. The venue offers excellent sightlines from most seats and full accessibility features including wheelchair-accessible seating, accessible restrooms, and assistive listening devices. The theatre includes a bar, lounge, and cloakroom for your convenience.
This production stands out for its blend of rock music, aerial choreography by Lauren Yalango‑Grant and Christopher Cree Grant, and stylised movement that brings the vampire elements to life. The show uses special stage effects and theatrical design to create the supernatural atmosphere that made the original film a cult favourite, while the rock score gives it a fresh Broadway energy.
