"Stranger Things: The First Shadow" opened to rave reviews in 2023 on London's West End and recently won Olivier Awards in the best entertainment and best set design categories. The production is directed by Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin.
The show is set in the same location as the Netflix series -- Hawkins, Indiana -- in 1959 and centers on the younger version of some of the show's main characters. The West End cast featured Oscar Lloyd as the younger version of David Harbour's character, Jim Hopper; Isabella Pappas as Winona Ryder's character, Joyce; and Patrick Vaill as the younger version of Matthew Modine's TV character, Dr. Brenner.
The West End cast also included Louis McCartney as Henry Creel, whose telekinesis lands him at the Hawkins National Laboratory, where he's eventually transformed into the supernatural villain Vecna.
Fans can sign up for first access to presale tickets at www.StrangerThingsBroadway.com. For those who do, presale tickets go on sale Sept. 13. Tickets for the general public will go on sale Sept. 17.
