Prepare for a journey back to the eerie town of Hawkins with Netflix and Sonia Friedman Productions as they bring you Stranger Things: The First Shadow. This gripping theatrical experience, based on the Netflix series created by the Duffer Brothers, is set to unravel the shadows of the past and take audiences to the very beginning of the Stranger Things saga.

Debuting in July 2016, the Stranger Things series has become a global phenomenon, amassing over 140.7 million views for its fourth season alone. The 80s-inspired show has not only revived nostalgia for the era but has also influenced pop culture, from Eggo waffles to the resurgence of Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill.” Now, the world of Hawkins is set to transcend the screen and come to life on the stage.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow is set in Hawkins, 1959, depicting a seemingly regular town with ordinary concerns. Young Jim Hopper faces car troubles, Bob Newby’s sister dismisses his radio show, and Joyce Maldonado yearns to escape the town. However, when new student Henry Creel arrives, the facade of normality shatters and the shadows of the past cast a chilling presence.

Helmed by an award-winning creative team, including director Stephen Daldry and writer Kate Trefry, this theatrical adventure promises to take audiences on a gripping journey that could hold the key to the end of the Stranger Things story.

The production boasts a stellar lineup, with set design by Miriam Buether, costume design by Brigitte Reiffenstuel, and original music by D.J. Walde. The creative minds behind the illusions and visual effects, choreography, lighting, and sound design are set to elevate the stagecraft to a whole new dimension.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow is not just a play; it aims to be an immersive experience to captivate and terrify, bringing the iconic series to a new realm of horror entertainment.
