The Lost Boys, Palace Theatre, New York, April 2026
May 2026
The Lost Boys is very much a product of its era, and that is one of its strengths. The 1980s aesthetic fits the musical well: plenty of black leather, chains and ripped clothing. I do not know much about Santa Cruz, but the script tells us that it is — or was in 1987 — a rather forgotten and run-down small seaside city. I can imagine that many of its residents dress much the same in 2026 as they did in 1987.
