Bean’s 2026 Tony nomination is one of The Lost Boys’ 12 total nominations, tying it with Schmigadoon! to make them the most nominated new shows of the season. The show is up for the night’s most coveted title, Best Musical. The production opened at the Palace Theatre April 27.
With Michael Arden at the helm, The Lost Boys features a book by David Hornsby and Chris Hoch and music by the band The Rescues, and uses vampirism to explore the physical transformation, sexual awakening, and identity experimentation of a teenager’s coming of age. When the brotherly duo of Michael and Sam move to the fictional town of Santa Carla, California, with their single mother, they inadvertently end up in the crosshairs of a group of teenage rebel vampires and adolescent vampire hunters.
