being one of the biggest gambles in broadway history, LOST BOYS lives up to the hype
woaaaaah I just left one of the best theatrical experiences i’ve ever seen. This show took a (MASSIVE) swing and it hits. The cast, the songs, the SET, the lightning, special effects… everything was incredible. How does this not win best musical?
I went in blind not seeing the movie or hearing any of the songs. I thought the songs were amazing. Yes there’s probably 1 or 2 that they can still cut or trim down. We LOVE Shoshana but we don’t need 6 songs where she talks about how she wants to do what’s best for her kids.
The show did have 2 holds about 10 minutes apart. One of them which included flying had to stop in the middle of the song and then when the hold was over it picked up at the next scene which I was kinda bummed about… but there was a lot of flying throughout the show to make up for it.
The people around me were so into it… I will say with the holds the show was over 3 hours so many snuck out as soon as bows came up
Now for the controversy… I don’t think the post bow scene is necessary. It was fun and unique, but you have a standing ovation and then half of the post bow scene were people either confused weather to stand or sit or people yelling at the people in front of them to sit. If they keep it in, great! But I don’t think it’s necessary.
ALSO A LITTLE BONE TO PICK… Yes the show is extremely technical so they constantly have people under the stage setting up for the next scene and you can see them from the mezz. Why aren’t they in all black? I saw a mets hat.. please buy a $5 black hat off amazon. Thank You!
Feel free to ask me questions below! I will 100% be back.
