Based on the 1987 classic Warner Bros. Pictures film THE LOST BOYS is produced by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures. Mark Kaufman and Lauren Shuler Donner are serving as Creative Consultants for the project.

The 1987 American supernatural horror-comedy, directed by Joel Schumacher and produced by Richard Donner, follows two teenage brothers who move with their divorced mother to the fictional town of Santa Carla, California, only to discover that the town is a haven for vampires.  The film won the award for Best Horror Film by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films; spawned a franchise that included two sequels and two comic book series. 

A teenage vampire movie that was tawdry, pulpy and sexually charged, THE LOST BOYS was a critical and commercial success and has since achieved cult classic status by transcending the genre with its unique blend of horror and comedy.  The film defined a new era within pop culture by shifting the depiction of vampires for a younger generation.  THE LOST BOYS was the last word in the 1980’s as a teen vamp angst coming-of-age story: physical transformation, sexual awakening, and experimentation.  The film appeals to multiple generations and helped pave the way for subsequent film and television projects like “Buffy The Vampire Slayer,” “True Blood” and “Twilight.”?                                                                                                                                                                   

ABOUT THE PALACE THEATRE

As one of Broadway’s most preeminent theatres, “Playing The Palace” has been synonymous with the pinnacle of success since the theatre opened in 1913. The venue closed in 2018 for significant renovation and restoration, including raising the historically landmarked venue 30 feet in the air, and reopened in 2024.
