Step into Hawkins, Indiana before the Upside Down changed the town forever. If you were gripped by Netflix’s Stranger Things, you’ll undoubtedly find the stage prequel every bit as thrilling. Don’t miss out by booking Stranger Things: The First Shadow tickets today.
In 1959, an ordinary town goes about its business, but nothing is quite what it seems. Young adult angst is timeless, but when newcomer Henry Creel arrives, he and his family struggle to fit in and find themselves unable to escape their troubled history. Something unusual is clearly at play — and it's up to younger versions of beloved Stranger Things characters, as well as new faces, to find out what.
Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers and series writer Kate Trefry join forces with writer Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) and director Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours) to create this gripping theatrical event, with spellbinding staging and outstanding special effects by an all-star creative team.
