Here is why we at Broadway Inbound think it's a perfect show for groups:
Before the world was rocked with interdimensional monsters and secret government labs, the quiet town of Hawkins, Indiana, was just trying to find its footing. Set in 1959, Stranger Things: The First Shadow transports audiences to a time long before Eleven and the gang took on the Upside Down. This prequel, skillfully crafted by Kate Trefry from an original story by the Duffer Brothers, Jack Thorne, and Trefry herself, introduces us to a young Henry Creel and his quest for normalcy after a troubled past. Eager to start anew, Henry quickly finds camaraderie and even a part in the school play, but as eerie crimes begin to plague Hawkins, he must wrestle with a chilling possibility—could he be connected to the darkness tormenting the town?
Featuring a dynamic cast, including Louis McCartney reprising his role from the West End, this production is a story of suspense, friendship, and self-discovery. The show promises the same heart-pounding thrills that fans of the series have come to love. A stand-alone adventure that complements the famed Netflix series, it beckons both die-hard fans and newcomers with its rich storytelling and dazzling effects. Whether you're new to Hawkins or a longtime fan, this award-winning production is a haunting journey into how the world of Stranger Things began. Prepare yourself for an experience that will leave you questioning the line between good and evil.
