Are those inside jokes? Very expensive inside jokes? With no branding for the show on the outside?
Feels a little insane to put out Merch for a project literally nobody has even laid eyes on...

This feels unprecedented to me, but I'm not sure. Very "cart before the horse."
The Santa Clara t shirt is actually cool. But I’m not sure why the small lost boys logo is not on the outside on the back of the shirt in the same place. But it’s not worth 98.00 buck with postage
So curious how big of a show this is.

It's at the Palace Theatre so it'll be big in probably every way. Also big capitalization.

Michael Arden is a terrific director, but the two songs I've heard from this make it hard to hope. Repetitive like pop songs and no characterization.

I'm wondering who's the target audience for this. Millennials, even older ones are largely not aware of this movie. It's not known to gen Z at all. Gen X surely all saw it but will they show up for a musical?
The Lost Boys never had any remakes and even by 80s standards didn't age well. Hard to find a film with so much concentration of horrible acting and awful writing than this one. I'm puzzled with the choice of a vampire movie to base a musical on. But what do I know. Maybe it'll surprise us all, just like Death Becomes Her.

Budget is climbing. Arden is brilliant but his shows end up costing way more than the material merits. Hopefully this one is different. From the workshop it doesn't seem to add up. No out of town and massive stunts and set pieces. Same problem he is having n QofV.
