Step into Hawkins, Indiana—1959, where secrets simmer beneath the surface in Stranger Things: The First Shadow. This Broadway-exclusive origin story of the global Netflix phenomenon is a five-time Tony Award nominee and an "awe-inspiring sci-fi spectacular" (London Theatre).
Created by Kate Trefry and directed by Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin, the play explores how a seemingly ordinary town and a boy named Henry Creel set the stage for the darkness to come. With stunning special effects, emotionally layered storytelling, and the backing of Netflix and Sonia Friedman Productions, this production redefines theatrical world-building.
You don’t need to be a fan of the series to be pulled into this atmospheric thriller—Stranger Things: The First Shadow stands on its own as one of Broadway’s boldest new offerings.
