Video: How Louis McCartney Is Keeping His Heavy Role Light

It's no picnic being Henry Creel. Every night at the Marquis Theatre, Louis McCartney is bringing the troubled teen to life in Stranger Things: The First Shadow- the spectacular origin story for the beloved Netflix series. 

McCartney is making his Broadway debut in the role, which he reprises after his Olivier Award nominated performance in the West End. "Every day is just an opportunity to do the play better. I've been focusing on that and trying to keep it fun and light. What we'r doing is insane and groundbreaking, but at the same time it's just a job! That takes the weight and pressure off of it and also the consuming nature out of it."

Watch as Louis chats more about how he shakes off his character every night, why being on Broadway has been so special to him, and so much more. Plus, check out who he is up against and catch up on all the latest Tony Awards coverage!
