The Lost Boys is getting ready to begin performances at the Palace Theatre March 27. So how are things going for this musical making its world premiere on Broadway? According to the show's producers, it's "unbelievable," and "so athletic and so sexy and so dynamic."

That's good adjectives to describe a vampire musical. In a special edition of the Playbill Podcast, Time to Kill: Making The Lost Boys Musical, the cast and creative team members of the upcoming Broadway musical sit down over three episodes to discuss how they are adapting the 1987 cult classic vampires-meet-Peter Pan film for the stage. The previous episode discussed the show's music, composed by The Rescues.

In the second episode of Time to Kill, Lost Boys lead producers and podcast hosts Patrick Wilson, James Carpinello, and Marcus Chait ("college friends who met 30 years ago") welcome director Michael Arden. Listen to Arden discuss his latest Broadway journey in the episode below.

Time to Kill is a multi-part series about the journey from screen-to-stage of The Lost Boys. The third episode, out March 24, will feature the cast.
