Written by Kate Trefry and with direction by Stephen Daldry and co-director Justin Martin, the production opened to rave reviews at the Phoenix Theatre on 14 December 2023. The show, currently breaking box office records at Phoenix Theatre where it is now booking until 7 September 2025, has won several awards including the Olivier Awards for Best Entertainment and Best Set Design, the Critics’ Circle Awards for Best Set Design and Most Promising Newcomer, and the WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Play. It was announced earlier this year that Stranger Things: The First Shadow will transfer to Broadway in 2025, opening at the Marquis Theatre on 22 April, with previews from 28 March. 

Directed by Stephen Daldry, with co-direction by Justin Martin, leading the world class award-winning creative team, the cast includes Louis Healy (Henry Creel), Joshua James (Dr Brenner), Callum Maxwell (Bob Newby), Miranda Mufema (Patty Newby), Jessica Rhodes (Joyce Maldonado) and George Smale (James Hopper Jr.)

Hawkins, 1959: a regular town with regular worries. Young Jim Hopper’s car won’t start, Bob Newby’s sister won’t take his radio show seriously and Joyce Maldonado just wants to graduate and get the hell out of town. When new student Henry Creel arrives, his family finds that a fresh start isn’t so easy… and the shadows of the past have a very long reach.

Brought to life by a multi-award-winning creative team, who take theatrical storytelling and stagecraft to a whole new dimension, this gripping new adventure will take you right back to the beginning of the Stranger Things story – and may hold the key to the end.
