Vampires and Values on Broadway
August 11, 2026
The Lost Boys, a Broadway musical adapted from the 1980s vampire flick, opens with a flickering specter. A doomed cop is searching a condemned warehouse when a TV suddenly brightens. On the screen is Ronald Reagan, delivering a Christmas speech on family values:
It’s in the family that we must all learn the fundamental lesson of life. Right and wrong, respect for others, self-discipline, the importance of knowledge, and, yes, a sense of our own self-worth. All of our lives, it’s the love of our families that sustains us when times are hard.
