The countdown clock to the 2026 Tony Awards is officially ticking.
Set to take place Sunday, June 7 with host P!nk, this year’s extravaganza will pay tribute to the best musicals and straight plays that the Great White Way had to offer this past year.
And, now that the dust has settled on the nominations, we know that the most decorated shows of the year are the musicals “The Lost Boys” and “Schmigadoon!”
Both revival productions of beloved IP — “Lost Boys” is based on the classic 1987 vampire film starring Coreys Haim and Feldman while “Schmigadoon!” comes from the short-lived, two-season Apple TV series with Keegan-Michael Key and Cecily Strong — scored 12 nods apiece.
However, this left our frugal selves wondering if one wanted to see just one of these critically-acclaimed shows, which was the cheaper option?
Let’s break it down.
After doing a bit of digging we found that from now until June 7, the musical with the cheapest overall ticket was “The Lost Boys,” which is running at the Palace Theatre for the foreseeable future.
At the time of publication, our team found seats going for as low as $60 including fees on SeatGeek.
Not a bad price to see a celebrated show at the height of Tony’s season that features…flying vampires.
“Directed by comeback kid Michael Arden, “The Lost Boys” is a serious and ambitious effort of spectacle and heartfelt adventure that doesn’t look or behave like any musical I have seen before,” noti.group’s theater critic Johnny Oleksinski raved in an emphatic review.
As for “Schmigadoon!,” you won’t have to spend too much more to see Tony nominees Ana Gasteyer and Sara Chase at the Nederlander Theater.
Based on our findings, prices start at $81 including fees.
Oleksinski wasn’t as high on “Schmigadoon!” but did note “funniest is ‘SNL’ alum Gasteyer as a stern and ambitious reverend’s wife named Mildred who gets the best number: “Tribulation,” a winning spoof of “Trouble” from “The Music Man.”
