Musical adaptation of THE LOST BOYS.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep track of this conversation between Ensemble1665759202 and Ensemble1711444445

I read that The Lost Boys was capitalized for $25 million, so higher than average but not near some other shows that are in the works."

Prove it.


"

Per this SEC filing from 2024, the show/producers were hoping to raise 25 million. That number has likely increased since then.

Is Patrick Wilson only producing this as a promise to Joel Schumacher?


MARY POPPINS revival/tour, possibly in 2027?

Not trying to offend them, but these two have graduated on to the roles of Mrs. Banks or Miss Andrew. If The Beauty and the Beast tour casting is any indicator they’d likely cast someone a year or two out of undergrad.

But considering the times piece on Maybe Happy Ending and his rumors almost getting the show cancelled before load in - that’s a threat.

Or harassing performers.

“His rumors,” didn’t almost get the show cancelled, it was the producers own fault for that dilemma. If you’re struggling to find investors for your show and you blame

I suggested the possibility of this happening back in October.


Bowen Yang
 Dec 20 2025, 12:18:50 PM

Chloe and Bowen joined the same season, so I wouldn’t be shocked if she finishes her run with the show after this season. Bowen leaving allows the opportunity to cast a mid season replacement and the show is currently lacking a woman of color in its cast. 


Trump calls it the Trump Kennedy Center

Again, I don’t see how the Kennedy Center as a cultural institution survives after this administration. The damage to its reputation is too far gone.

Without approval of the proposed zoning changes, Roundabout states that it would be unable to finance the necessary renovations and would be forced to shut down the theater.

I wonder what Felton’s compensation package is like and if he’s getting a cut of the profits.

Liam Oh from the Netflix series Boots and the Chicago Shakespeare production of The Notebook played Nick in this workshop! I’m a big fan of his, so I hope he continues with the show.

Either 30 million budgets with high running costs or limited runs that make no sense financially. The community that finances the shows and takes all the risks are being asked to do financial models that make no sense. Not to mention the lack of jobs for the musical community this season. Where are the smartly budgeted and developed shows and why are they not getting

Only a three month run. I wonder if that’s also the end of Jenn’s contract.


Trump takeover of DC

Ultimately, I think the Kennedy Center’s reputation has been badly damaged, and that damage will linger for a long time. Even if all of these recent changes were reversed and things appeared to return to “normal,” the staff and artists working there would still be living with the knowledge that their jobs and programming can be instantly politicized. There’s now a clear precedent that a sitting president can reshape the institution’s leadership simply because the

A good number of them are holdovers from the film soundtrack/score. Seems like Blaemire and Kitt will be providing new/additional material.
