Head back to Hawkins, Indiana in 1959 to experience Stranger Things: The First Shadow on Broadway. Back then, the small town, filled with beloved characters, was just a normal community: young Jim Hopperβs car wonβt start, Bob Newbyβs sister wonβt take his radio show seriously, and Joyce Maldonado just wants to graduate and move far away from the small town. However, when Henry Creel, a new student, shows up, his family discovers that a fresh start isnβt always so simple β and past events can leave a long shadow, following you wherever you go.
A sumptuous show that has to be seen to be believed, Stranger Things: The First Shadow brings legendary producers Netflix and Tony-winning Sonia Friedman Productions together for the Broadway premiere of this new play by Kate Trefry. The play is directed by Stephen Daldry, a three-time Oscar nominee and Tony Award winner for The Inheritance, Billy Elliott, and An Inspector Calls, and co-director Justin Martin. Based on the Netflix series Stranger Things created by The Duffer Brothers, this new show promises stunning special effects and a gripping storyline that will keep you on the edge of your seat. See how the fan-favorite story all began, and see it live on Broadway.
Super fans of the Netflix series will rejoice, but no prior knowledge of the show is necessary: this stand-alone story will dazzle anyone who enjoys Broadway spectacle, compelling characters, and a thrilling plot. Tickets to Stranger Things: The First Shadow are available now.
