Where Have You Seen the Stars of Lost Onstage?

If you were captivated by the ever-shifting world of Lost, you’re not alone. The show, which follows the survivors of a plane crash stranded on a mysterious, time-jumping island, became a television phenomenon 20 years ago this month with its complex storytelling and intricate characters.

Daniel Dae Kim, who played the honorable Jin-Soo Kwon, is returns to Broadway tonight in David Henry Hwang’s Pulitzer finalist comedy Yellow Face at the American Airlines Theatre. Kim is not the only Lost cast member to trod the boards; here, we explore how these stars have showcased their talents on stage, from New York to London.

Matthew Fox

plays Jack Shephard

After six seasons leading the Oceanic flight survivors through the jungle, Fox made the leap to the stage in Neil LaBute’s psychological thriller In a Forest Dark and Deep on the West End. The two-hander cast Fox as a redneck carpenter opposite Olivia Williams as a college lecturer, but things weren’t what they seemed.
