Lost Boys Musical

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 incorporates thrilling motorcycle races, flying sequences, and a battle against the undead, capturing the film's blend of horror and humor.

This musical adaptation has been in development for years, with an industry presentation in 2025 and a promotional EP, *The Santa Carla Sessions*, released on Halloween 2025. The show has received mixed to positive reviews, offering a fresh take on a beloved story for both longtime fans and newcomers.
