Outstanding effects and performances
"This is one of the best shows I've seen -- not to be missed if you are a stranger things fan. The special effects parallels or exceed Harry Potter, and the performances were a mix of humorous, captivating, frightening and kept me on the edge of my seat. It's the prequel to stranger things I didn't know I needed!"

For fans, but not only
"Fantastic acting, all that have seen the Netflix show will see who is who only by this. For fans the whole show is outstanding - to be inside the story and almost (sometimes not only "almost") touch it is someting to remember!
From technical point of view the whole show is just perfect and puts the bar really high for everyone else. Magnificent! "

A great play for Stranger Things fans
"I attended the performance with my 12-year-old daughter, an absolute Stranger Things fan.
I recommend seeing the documentary on "Stranger Things - The first shadow" on Netflix before going to see the play to avoid any unnecessary disappointment.
The actors were fabulous and the special effects brilliant for a one-stage play.
Thank you to all the special effects and staging artists and craftspeople for their high-quality work!"

Stranger Things: The First Shadow
Before the world turned upside down. Hawkins, 1959: a regular town with regular worries. Young Jim Hopper’s car won’t start, Bob Newby’s sister won’t take his radio show seriously and Joyce Maldonado just wants to graduate and get the hell out of town. When new student Henry Creel arrives, his family finds that a fresh start isn’t so easy...and the shadows of the past have a very long reach.
From Netflix and the multi-award-winning Broadway producer Sonia Friedman Productions comes Stranger Things: The First Shadow. Winner of two Olivier Awards including Best Entertainment, this landmark production is brought to life by an award-winning creative team including director Stephen Daldry (The Crown, Billy Elliot, The Inheritance, The Hours, The Reader) and co-director Justin Martin (Prima Facie, The Inheritance). With stunning special effects, extraordinary performances, and a storyline that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this gripping, stand-alone adventure will take you right back to the beginnings of the Stranger Things story.
