What happens when a cult classic vampire film becomes a stage musical?

In this episode of Roll Credits!, we take a look at The Lost Boys and its unexpected transformation into a live musical adaptation. From its iconic 80s aesthetic and soundtrack to its dark, seductive vampire tone, The Lost Boys is a film built on atmosphere, but can that translate to the stage?
