The Lost Boys

Vampire musicals don't have a great track record on Broadway—hello and goodbye, Dance of the Vampires and Dracula and Lestat!—but this adaptation of the 1987 coming-of-fangs horror comedy aims to break that curse. Michael Arden (Maybe Happy Ending) directs a cast that promisingly includes LJ Benet and rising star Benjamin Pajak as teenage brothers in immortal peril, Shoshanna Bean as their mom and Paul Alexander Nolan and Ali Louis Bourzgui as bloodsucking baddies. (No word yet on who will play the key role of the oiled-up sax player in jeans.)
