The Lost Boys musical opens on Broadway to strong reviews
The Lost Boys, a stage adaptation of the 1987 vampire film, opened on Broadway on April 26, 2026, in a world-premiere production. Critics praised its eye-popping spectacle, aerial stunts, choreography, and special effects, with many singling out an operatic 30-minute sequence that closes Act 1. Some reviewers found Act 2 less consistent, but the show's scale and genre-blending cap the 2025/26 Broadway season and highlight Broadway's appetite for big, film-to-stage spectacles.
