Stranger Things : The First Shadow Reviews

Verified

What an amazing production! I've watched the entire Stranger Things series and could not imagine how this would be turned into a stage play. But this prequel production was simply incredible from the curtain opening and the horizontally split stage to the actors' appearing amidst the audience to the characters' performances. The woman who played Young Joyce could easily have been the same actress as in the series! There are so many surprises along the way that I don't want to spoil the play for others planning on attending. 110% worth it! If you haven't bought tickets yet, I might suggest seats in the dress circle as you are able to comfortably see all the action with this slight upward angle. We were in Row D, seats 11 & 12.

Brilliant show,10 out of 10, highly recommend, the only criticism was how hot the theatre was, made it slightly uncomfortable.

We had been meaning to visit for ages, but now I wish we’d seen it sooner. Immediately booked it again as soon as we’d got home! It was outstanding and Paddy who played Henry Creel did a fantastic job of playing a such a creepy awkward character. If you like Stranger Things on Netflix then you must visit before it finishes in December 26. Beautiful venue too!

A Prequel Done Right This production is exceptionally well-executed, delivering a complete Stranger Things experience while charting its own course. Rather than retreading the original storyline, this prequel centers entirely on Henry's character arc, offering fresh insight into one of the series' most compelling figures. Henry's portrayal is fabulous, as is the entire ensemble cast. The storytelling builds beautifully throughout, culminating in a particularly effective final scene that introduces Eleven—a moment that bridges the prequel to the larger Stranger Things universe while leaving a lasting impression. Seating Note: Avoid the first three rows when booking—the elevated stage makes viewing challenging from these seats.

Brilliant production! A must see for Stranger Things fans. Took my 13 year old and he loved it too. It was my second time watching it and it was even better since I have now watched the last season on TV.
