Designer Jen Schriever has created the lighting for 15 Broadway shows. She’s previously received Tony Award nominations for 2022’s “A Strange Loop” and 2023’s “Death of a Salesman.” So, as director and Schriever’s co-lighting designer Michael Arden likes to say, Schriever didn’t need a co-designer. Yet, she agreed to a partnership with Arden for the massive musical “The Lost Boys,” the show for which Schriever has received her third Tony nomination and Arden has received his first as a lighting designer.
In two interviews (combined here), Arden and Schriever discuss their impressive design, their complementary partnership and more.
“The Lost Boys” is nominated for 12 Tony Awards.
The 2026 Tony Awards will take place on June 7 at Radio City Music Hall. P!NK will host the ceremony, which will be broadcast live on CBS and livestreamed on Paramount+ Premium (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT). CBS and Pluto TV will present the Tony Awards: Act One.
