Grab all the garlic and holy water you can find, because vampires are about to be on the loose in New York City. And not just any vampires, but singing vampires!
A musical stage adaptation of the 1987 cult classic vampire film The Lost Boys will be making its anticipated Broadway debut this spring. BUT FEAR NOT! Because we have your exclusive first look at these creatures of the night that will start roaming the Palace Theatre when performances begin on March 27 (with an opening night set for April 26).
These unfortunate souls may not be able to see themselves in a mirror, but you can see them just fine right here! The photo above reveals Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vamp David (playing the role that a bleached mullet-sporting Kiefer Sutherland made famous almost 40 years ago). Also on the scene are Maria Wirries as fellow bloodsucker Star (taking on the part from 1980s icon Jami Gertz) as well as LJ Benet in the role of soon-to-be-turned Michael Emerson (originally held down by Jason Patric).
The two other photos below show a suspicious Michael eyeing a very shirtless David, as well as an intimate moment between Michael and Star.

"It's not every day that a movie is so impactful and meaningful that it gets to have a new life almost 40 years later!" Wirries tells Entertainment Weekly. "The Lost Boys is that kind of movie, and I am beyond excited to be a piece of bringing its message and its magic to Broadway! It's fun to be a vampire!"
Her costar Benet tells EW that, "No one's ready for what we're about to do at the Palace. From the book, to the music, to the special effects and the stunts, this production is something I feel audiences have been craving for a while. For me personally, all the stars aligned for me to even be here. I've just been feeling an immense amount of gratitude to be a part of something so special that truly is history in the making. I'm on cloud 9."
As for the actor playing bad boy vampire David, Bourzgui is feeling like everything has come full circle. "Lately it feels like the vibes of the '80s are back in full swing," he tells EW. "The hair, the clothes, the music, the media; our culture is re-embracing this period of self-expression and rebellion of the status quo. The Lost Boys was a part of the movement of stories about young people who banded together to take on the bad guys when the adults just couldn't seem to be bothered. It was about chosen family and breaking cycles of abuse."

Of course, that's not all it was about.
"It was also pretty damn fun," notes Bourzgui. "I'm so excited how this musical version honors all of the iconic moments of the film, while diving deeper into each character. It's a perfect combo of sexy vampire glam rock with a heart-centered story about family and rising above oppression. Oh, and me and the other 'Lost Boys' will be playing our songs live on stage, so your ticket is two for the price of one — a musical and a live rock concert."
Seeing as how Bourzgui recently starred in the title role for the recent revival of The Who's Tommy, he knows a little something about rock concerts on Broadway. And now you have your first look at the next one.
The trio will be starring in the new musical alongside Grammy winner and two-time Tony award nominee Shoshana Bean as Lucy Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, 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. Plus, check out a press day performance from the show above.
