I saw the matinee a few days ago, and was blown away. When you first heard The Lost Boys was becoming a musical, what was your initial reaction?
Michael: I think my initial reaction was, “A vampire musical??” I wasn’t sure what to think, but that’s usually what makes something a good idea. It means there’s an interesting avenue that people haven’t found yet.
I was excited by the youth of it, and that it wasn’t all about century-old vampires. It’s about a family, and about young people wanting to belong, and those stories have always resonated for me.
It felt like it was an opportunity that could really sing — scary, and sexy, and rock and roll.
