Fewer than two points separate the top four new musicals in BWW's scoring, another sign of just how close this year's Tony race is.

Copying and pasting almost an entire review to rob the outlet of the click instead of leaving it to the reader to click through to the full review is a sh***y thing to do.

Four out of five stars

‘The Lost Boys’ is a muscial sensation with high stakes in the heart (Broadway review)

https://culturesauce.com/2026/04/26/the-lost-boys-broadway-review/

"Despite the long odds, The Lost Boys may be the most spectacular surprise of the Broadway season — a visually captivating and technically astounding show that actually improves on its source material with more fleshed-out characters, a more coherent plot, and a hook-filled rock score that deepens our connection to both the players and their plight. Who knew that a glorified B movie best remembered as a breakout for Gen X stars like Sutherland and Jason Patric could inspire a stage musical with this much energy and heart? It’s enough to drive a stake into cynical naysayers everywhere."

The Lost Boys Finds New Life as a Cinematic Broadway Spectacle That Thrills but Never Quite Sinks Its Teeth In

An adaptation of the 1987 vampire cult favorite, the stage show delivers the feeling of a blockbuster more successfully than the substance of a great musical

https://people.com/the-lost-boys-broadway-review-11958855

"That may be the central contradiction of The Lost Boys. It is frequently fun. It is consistently showy. It offers audiences a glossy, high-voltage night at the theater. But for all its smoke, style and sensory dazzle, the show never quite finds the pulse beneath the polish."

The Lost Boys musical review: Singing vampires take a bite out of Broadway

The stage adaptation stakes its claim on the Great White Way.

https://ew.com/the-lost-boys-musical-review-singing-vampires-bite-into-broadway-11958889

"The Lost Boys is a big and bold production marrying technical enchantment with a talented cast of vocal heavyweights. Even if a few elements of this vampire love story remain a bit undercooked, it's definitely worth sinking your teeth into."

‘The Lost Boys’ Review: Broadway’s Latest Vampire Musical Actually Takes Flight

This musical is more visually jaw-dropping and effortlessly cool than it has any right to be.

https://www.slantmagazine.com/theater/the-lost-boys-broadway-review/

"For director Michael Arden’s last hit, Maybe Happy Ending, he had the advantage of building a stunning staging out of a dramatically driven score and pitch-perfect book. The Lost Boys offers neither, though the songs (by the band the Rescues) and the script (by actors Chris Hoch and David Hornsby) are faithful to the film’s spooky-kooky, intensely ’80s vibes.

As he proved in his musically precise staging of Parade, Arden’s greatest gift as a musical theater director is rhythmic. Each vampiric liftoff, fanged nosedive toward an unsuspecting neck, and unearthly lighting effect (by Arden and Jen Schriever) is so pinpointedly timed with the music that the rock anthems seem to spill out of the show’s visuals."

‘The Lost Boys’ Broadway Review: A Film-To-Stage Adaptation That Doesn’t Suck

https://deadline.com/2026/04/lost-boys-broadway-review-1236870020/

"Like Stranger Things: The First Shadow playing a midtown-block away, the creative team behind The Lost Boys musical, along with a terrific cast, seem to have figured out how, exactly, to adapt the horror genre to the stage, and, yes, it has much to do with advances in stage craft and tech, from the jump-scare-friendly improvements in sound design (the better for those loud thunder-like cracks) to special effects (the aerial stunts that bedeviled Angels in America rehearsals back in the early ’90s seem more than a bit quaint compared to all the soaring these vampires do)."

Variety: Critic's Pick

‘The Lost Boys’ Broadway Review: Musical Adaptation of ‘80s Teen Vampire Flick is Rich in Imagination, Filled With Spectacular Effects

https://variety.com/2026/legit/reviews/lost-boys-broadway-review-musical-teen-vampire-movie-spectacular-effects-1236730779/

"Because of the size and scale of the musical production (reportedly in the $25 million-plus range), the show nixed an out-of-town run. While “The Lost Boys” could have benefitted from more work — particularly in the troublesome second act — the production should still satisfy longtime fans and be an attractive sell for a younger market."

THE LOST BOYS Is One Bloody Good Time — Review

https://www.theatrely.com/post/the-lost-boys-is-one-bloody-good-time-review

"The musical channels the 80s maximalism of the movie in Dane Laffrey’s elaborate, towering sets and Jen Schriever’s gorgeous, cinematic lighting design. (Arden also gets credit for lighting.) Just when you think there isn’t room for another location, another one rolls in. This production has to have the record for most motorcycles on stage. Those elements, along with Markus Maurette’s special effects, could be considered worth the price of admission.

Where this grand spectacle starts to unravel is in the music. The Rescues’ cliche-ridden lyrics fail to interestingly explore the emotions of the characters while only intermittently moving the plot along. There are a few standouts among a parade of songs I can’t remember. "
