Initial casting has been announced for the new Broadway musical adaptation of the 1987 vampire drama The Lost Boys, beginning previews at the Palace Theatre on March 27, 2026.

The Lost Boys will star Caissie Levy as Lucy Emerson, LJ Benet as Michael Emerson, Ali Louis Bourzgui as David, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Maria Wirries as Star, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.

Based on the film written by James Jeremias, Janice Fischer, and James Boam, The Lost Boys is about two teen brothers who move with their mother to a California town full of vampires. The musical features a book by David Hornsby and Chris Hoch, with a score by the California rock band the Rescues. Michael Arden directs.

Arden’s production will have choreography by Lauren Yalango-Grant and Christopher Cree Grant, music supervision by Ethan Popp, sets and video design by Dane Laffrey, costumes by Ryan Park, lighting by Jen Schriever and Arden, sound by Adam Fisher, and aerial design by Billy Mulholland and Gwyneth Larsen.

Opening night is set for April 26.

Update, November 6: Levy announced on social media that she would be stepping away from The Lost Boys, citing the challenges of rehearsing one musical while performing in another—all while raising a young family. A replacement has not yet been announced.
