More information about Stranger Things: The First Shadow
Welcome to the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. The year is 1959, and nothing paranormal has happened in this small idyllic town…yet. For now, everything is normal, and beloved characters from the Netflix series are back, including younger versions of Jim Hopper, Bob Newbb, and Joyce Maldonado, who just wants to graduate and move the hell away.
However, everything changes when Henry Creel, a new student, moves to town, and his family discovers that a fresh start isn’t always so easy — and that past events can leave a long shadow, following you wherever you go. A theatrical event with special effects like no other, Stranger Things: The First Shadow takes fans deeper into the lore of this fabled town while introducing newcomers to all its eccentricities, humor, and jaw-dropping wonder.
Netflix previously produced another Broadway show, Patriots, and now brings another show, with Tony-winning production company Sonia Friedman Productions, to New York.
