An extraordinary show, that I’ve seen twice now. The effects are among the most impressive I’ve ever seen on stage. Suitable for mega fans as well as those who’ve never seen the TV show

This is the most incredible show I have ever seen. I have seen it twice from the royal circle front row.. you can hear a pin drop from the audience we are all so spellbound. The special effects are amazing and really make you think .the show is very fast paced and is exactly like watching a 2 hour film of stranger things..the characters are exactly like their TV counterparts. The guys playing Henry creel are fantastic. It is the best 3 hours you can spend and even though I had seen it before in may I had forgotten some bits and saw new bits and enjoyed the story even more because I wasn't looking for the special effects. Everything is there for a reason, everything is so slick and polished. I came out of the show wanting to go see it again. I have already seen season 5 and this has really enhanced it and given more understanding. Henry Creels story is a vital part of the whole story arc.

One of the best shows I’ve seen. The special effects were amazing. The whole cast were brilliant but the actor playing Henry was worthy of separate praise. He was excellent. I actually started to feel sorry for the character he was portraying.

★★★★★ We went to see Stranger Things: The First Shadow yesterday evening at 7pm and absolutely loved it. What an incredible theatrical experience! The production was spectacular, with amazing special effects, lighting and stage design that genuinely made us wonder how some of it was being done live on stage. The performances were excellent and the story kept us completely engaged throughout. Even if you’ve watched Stranger Things on Netflix, seeing this story brought to life in the theatre is something completely different. Creative, exciting and brilliantly executed from beginning to end. One of the most impressive theatre productions we’ve seen and definitely worth experiencing. Highly recommended!

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.
