Broadway’s Lost Boys Immerses Audiences in Imagination and Immense Spectacle
TL;DR Summary
Broadway’s Lost Boys is a lavish, imaginative adaptation of the 1987 vampire film, directed by Michael Arden with a tightened screenplay by David Hornsby and Chris Hoch. Anchored by Shoshana Bean and Ali Louis Bourzgui, the show blends humor, coming‑of‑age drama and spectacular effects, with The Rescues’ ’80s‑inspired score and top‑notch design; it delivers imagination and heart, though the second act could use a sharper tonal balance.
