Two-time Tony nominee Shoshana Bean will bring her powerhouse voice to Broadway in 2026, starring as Lucy Emerson in The Lost Boys, adapted from Joel Schumacher’s cult film. She takes over from Caissie Levy, who bowed out due to family commitments, joining a story charged with adolescent rebellion, desire, and the dark allure of the supernatural.
Director Michael Arden welcomed her casting with enthusiasm. “I’m beyond excited to welcome my longtime friend and singular artist Shoshana Bean to the cast as Lucy. Shoshana brings an electrifying voice, a fearless heart, and a deep humanity to everything she touches, onstage and off. I cannot wait for audiences to experience the power and soul she will unleash in this role. She has inspired so many and having her at the helm of our extraordinary company is truly an embarrassment of riches.”

Producers James Carpinello, Marcus Chait, and Patrick Wilson added, “We are ecstatic to have Shoshana Bean join the cast of The Lost Boys as Lucy Emerson. Shoshana is an astonishing storyteller with an iconic voice, and we can’t wait to hear her sing this incredible score and breathe life into the role of Lucy.”
Previews begin March 27, 2026, at the Palace Theatre, with an official opening on April 26. The musical follows two brothers who move to the coastal town of Santa Carla, California, only to uncover a hidden world of teenage vampires and the hunters who pursue them. The story explores transformation, identity, and the turbulent passage from youth to adulthood.
Bean will star alongside LJ Benet as Michael Emerson, Ali Louis Bourzgui as David, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Maria Wirries as Star, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.
The production brings together a top-tier creative team: a book by David Hornsby and Chris Hoch, music and lyrics by The Rescues, choreography by Lauren Yalango-Grant and Christopher Cree Grant, and music supervision by Ethan Popp. Together, they aim to capture the dark humor, youthful energy, and supernatural suspense of the original film.
The film, directed by Joel Schumacher, became a touchstone of late-’80s pop culture. Now, decades later, The Lost Boys rises on Broadway with the same mix of mischief and menace, promising a show that is as thrilling, darkly playful, and unforgettable as the vampires who haunt Santa Carla.
