My needs/wants for the lost boys musical in order of most plausible to least plausible
Buckle up boys, it’s a long one
Dwayne, Paul, and Marko get more lines
A diverse cast but specifically non-white actors for Dwayne and Star
An actual child plays laddie, boy, or girl; if it’s not a Les Jacob’s situation, I don’t want it
Lore, I want to know why Grandpa knows about the vampires and doesn’t say anything. I want to know which year the boys were turned. I want to know where Star came from
Fake blood—this better be the goriest musical I’ve ever seen
Full hippie star: I want it to look like she just stepped out of Woodstock. I will also accept if they made her a really beachy surfer chick (her original character)
Edgar better have the same voice; it’s hated by many, not me though. Please, guys, he’s a stupid teenage boy doing a Rambo impression
Cry Little Sister better be played at least once. I’ll take a cover, I’ll take a new twist, but I want to hear it
MOTORCYCLES, listen. I don’t expect them to have 4-5 real vehicles on stage, but if I don’t hear a motorcycle noise in that sound design, I will tweak
Markos's jacket STAYS; they can make some minor changes, they can even crop it if they want, but I need that jacket on stage
minimum variation from the boys' movie costume, not as strict as Markos's jacket, but I love their costuming in the movies so much
Long hair for the boys; I would rather die than watch Dwayne walk onto that stage with a crew cut or something. The shortest I’ll go (besides for David) is shoulder length
Sam gets the most costume changes; every time he comes back on stage, he’s wearing something new and more obnoxiously colored than the last
Bring the shirtless saxophone player back; his name is Tim Capello. He’s still alive; I assume he still plays. I need him there
These bitches better fly; I want to see some wired harnesses
If they end up genderswapping the frog brothers (it’s been talked about in every new adaptation they go to make), I NEED their names to be Agatha and Christie
No one gets cut or added for that part. I despise when musicals cut an important character because they have less lines or prevalence (i.e., Randy in the Outsiders musical)
And as mentioned in my other post
Ben Tyler Cook for Marko: TRUST there is a vision
