Stranger Things: The First Shadow


The most Tony Award®-winning play of the year

Broadway just got turned Upside Down. Critics hail Stranger Things: The First Shadow as "a jaw-dropping, must-see theatrical marvel" (Entertainment Weekly) that makes you ask "how the hell did they do this?" (The New York Times) over and over again. From Netflix and multi-award-winning Broadway producer Sonia Friedman Productions, and directed by three-time Tony Award winner Stephen Daldry alongside Justin Martin, this pulse-racing new adventure will take you on a "non-stop thrill ride!" (Deadline)

Are monsters born... or made?

In 1959 Hawkins, Indiana, the Creel family seeks a fresh start—especially their teenage son Henry, who is eager to escape his troubled past. Everything changes when he meets Patty, a fellow outsider, and their budding romance gives Henry hope for the first time. But when a wave of shocking crimes strikes the town, Henry is forced to confront a terrifying truth: is something inside him that connects him to the horrors unfolding around him? This gripping stand-alone adventure will pull you deep into the world of Stranger Things —where suspense and spectacle lurk at every turn.
