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."

They have plenty of fantastic pull quotes to work with. Not bad at all.

This one quote from Robert Hofler of The Wrap basically says it all for me if I should go or not. Answer: I'm not.

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."

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.

No it's not. It's the beginning and end. Get real.

Kind of amazing that for a vampire musical, there have (so far) been no negative reviews. Some mixed yes, but no pans. I think that alone is a MAJOR win for this production.

Honestly with reviews like this, I think it’s safe to the long curse of the Broadway vampire musical has officially been lifted (pun intended)

I swear I'm not Holdren at Vulture, but she just gets it :)
"Two years ago, I had a minor freakout watching Bourzgui’s Broadway debut in the Tommy revival. Now he’s wearing a Billy Idol mullet and soaring through the air, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it. He’s absurdly charismatic, mostly by virtue of being so entirely himself. He doesn’t sound like any other young musical star, speaking or singing — there’s gravitas and mischief there, Oberon and Puck rolled into one. Though the Lost Boys takes its own glam aesthetic in a punk-and-hair-metal direction, Bourzgui’s got more than a little Lady Stardust in him. As an irresistible rock-and-roll vampire named David, he certainly sings a song full of darkness and disgrace."

These are big statements. I don't think either is true. They're average.

Absolutely. Considering the disaster this could have been and many thought it would be for the last year plus, these reviews are probably close to as good as they could hope for.

They have reason to REALLY celebrate at the opening night party tonight. Good on them.

I'll believe it when a single vampire musical makes a single penny back. Until now, I'm sadly sure the curse continues.

Are you serious?
11 very positive reviews so far several of which are raves. These vampires will be lurking in Broadway rafters for years.

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.

But the question even though Titaníque is at the top of the leaderboard, does that mean it will win Best Musical come TONY night?

Yall need to get a grip, I’m sorry.
I liked the show for the most part but be so for real. Middling-to-good reviews don’t do sh*t. The show cost a reported $25-30 MILLION DOLLARS and is in an absolute BARN of a theater with discounts abound.
They have an uphill climb in terms of success to say the VERY least.

…no. It doesn’t. Not even close.

No, because the less than two point difference is essentially meaningless and within any margin of error (especially since BWW is spitballing the numbers based on their interpretation of the reviews; the numbers aren't provided by the reviewers themselves). It's basically a 4-way tie.
