Vampires, Angst, and Acrobatics in Broadway's 'The Lost Boys'

All Of It with Alison Stewart | May 29

The film-to-musical Broadway adaptation "The Lost Boys" earned 12 Tony nominations, tying it with "Schmigadoon" for the most-nominated show this year. Actors Ali Louis Bourszgui and LJ Benet discuss their respective roles as the head of a vampire gang, and the wayward teen they seek to bring into the fold. Then director Michael Arden and scenic designer Dane Laffrey – longtime collaborators – talk about building the production and its spectacular set.
