It’s been a cult classic film for forty years, and now it’s one of the most Tony-nominated stage shows of all time. This year’s nominations were released this week, and the musical adaptation of The Lost Boys earned a whopping twelve nominations, tying with the stage adaptation of Apple TV+’s Schmigadoon for the most nominations of the 2025-2026 season.
The biggest nomination is, of course, for Best Musical, where it was nominated alongside Schmigadoon, Titanique, and Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York). Other nominations include Best Featured Actor and Actress in a musical for Ali Louis Bourzgui and Shoshana Bean, Michael Arden for Best Director, and The Rescues for Best Original Score.
The cast of The Lost Boys also includes Maria Wirries, Brian Flores, Sean Grandillo, Dean Maupin, LJ Benet, Benjamin Pajak, Paul Alexander Nolan, Jennifer Duka, and Miguel Gil. The show features music and lyrics by The Rescues, and is produced by The Conjuring alum Patrick Wilson, alongside James Carpinello, Marcus Chait, and Devin Keudell as executive producer.
The new version of Joel Schumacher’s iconic vamp tale features a story by James Jeremias and Janice Roberta Fischer, book by David Hornsby and Chris Hoch, and music and lyrics by The Rescues, with Tony Award-winner Michael Arden directing the production.
Additional below-the-line creatives for The Lost Boys also include choreography by Lauren Yalango-Grant and Christopher Cree Grant, scenic and video design by Dane Laffrey, costume design by Ryan Park, sound design by Adam Disher, and aerial design by Billy Mulholland and Gwyneth Laresen — implying we might see these vampires fly right in front of our eyes.
This year’s Tony Awards will air on June 7 on CBS and Paramount+, and tickets for The Lost Boys on Broadway are available now.
