NEW YORK — There’s no shortage of stakes when it comes to “The Lost Boys” and the vampiric musical’s high-flying Broadway aspirations.
Capitalized for a reported $25 million, the stage adaptation of Joel Schumacher’s 1987 cult classic film — about a family that discovers its California beach town is infested with moody creatures of the night — cost its investors a pretty penny. The show’s first-time writers are pinning their theater reputations on its fate. And a 2025-26 Broadway season thin on fresh musicals sure could use a must-see event.
