Much anticipated new musical The Lost Boys is in the middle of the final sprint to the finish that all new shows need to take on to open on Broadway successfully. While there is rarely time to reflect in those busy moments, the producing and creative teams for the show are peeling back the curtain with a three-part podcast series called Time To Kill: Making The Lost Boys Musical. And lucky for you all, we’re releasing those episodes here on the Playbill Podcast.

The hosts of the series are producers James Carpinello, Marcus Chait, and Patrick Wilson, and each episode has featured a different member or members of the creative process, such as the music, the direction, and the cast.

In the final episode of Time To Kill on the Playbill Podcast, the hosts bring on the cast members portraying the Emerson family: Shoshana Bean, LJ Benet, and Benjamin Pajak. Bean plays single mother Lucy, who moves with her two sons to the dangerous town of Santa Clara, California. The actors discuss how their roles are helping them grow, and how this musical about vampire is surprisingly relatable.

Time to Kill is a multi-part series about the journey from screen-to-stage of The Lost Boys. Listen to the first episode featuring composing team The Rescues here. Listen to the second episode featuring director Michael Arden here.
