The anticipation for ‘The Lost Boys: A New Musical’ is building up with the release of the music video for ‘Wild’, a pulsating track that captures the essence of danger and desire depicted in the original hit vampire film from 1987. Levy’s commanding vocals combined with Wilson’s harmonies offer a dynamic rendition, drawing listeners into a world of untamed freedom and uninhibited living. The emotional depth of the song evolves from introspection to a poignant chorus, embodying the spirit of the narrative.

Directed by the renowned Michael Arden, the production promises an engaging experience with a script penned by David Hornsby and Chris Hoch.
The storyline mirrors the Warner Bros. Pictures film, following the escapades of two teenage brothers alongside their mother to Santa Carla, a fictional town plagued by a clan of vampires. Infused with elements of horror, humour, and heartfelt moments, the musical delves into the conflict between good and evil, interwoven with themes of adolescence, acceptance, and survival through the night.
With Levy taking on the role of Lucy Emerson, portrayed on screen by Dianne Wiest, the cast is a blend of seasoned performers embodying iconic characters.
