Ali Louis Bourzgui discusses his role as David in the innovative Broadway musical 'The Lost Boys', the creative team's original approach, and his career of pursuing non-traditional shows.
Ali Louis Bourzgui , known for his powerful performance in the revival of 'The Who's Tommy ', brings a similar haunting intensity to his latest role as the vampire David in the new Broadway musical adaptation of the 1987 cult film 'The Lost Boys'.
His portrayal captures both seductive danger and deep vulnerability, earning critical acclaim. The production, featuring a score by the indie band The Rescues and directed by Tony-winner Michael Arden, stands out among movie-to-musical adaptations for its organic feel and original vision. Bourzgui, who also plays guitar and writes his own music, discussed his approach to the character, the collaborative spirit of the cast and creative team, and his attraction to non-traditional theatrical projects.
He emphasized that the show is not a simple remake but an original work that reimagines the story for the stage, with new songs that drive the plot forward. The cast and crew, many of whom were newcomers to Broadway, created an environment free from jadedness, fostering a labor of love.
Bourzgui reflected on his career path, noting his luck in consistently finding groundbreaking projects that value his unique voice and musical skills, from 'Tommy' to 'Orpheus in the Underworld' and now 'The Lost Boys'. He aims to be a chameleon-like character actor, often in leading roles that push boundaries, and he credits his guitar playing for opening doors in auditions.
The show's success lies in its intimate, ground-up creation despite a large budget, and it resonates with audiences seeking fresh theatrical experiences
