Stranger Things: The First Shadow reviews

The Phoenix Theatre was just beautiful. Overall a fantastic experience! The sound and lighting were incredibly well done, making the suspenseful scenes even more intense. The actors were excellent, and the special effects were genuinely impressive. I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys the Stranger Things universe and wants to experience its story in a completely different way.

This theater performance alone makes the trip to London worth it. The stage space, the actors' movements—everything is calibrated down to the millimeter to captivate the audience and draw you right into the scene. The opening draws a spontaneous round of applause mid-scene purely from the adrenaline. The ending is emotionally powerful. Taking photos wasn't allowed, so I'm posting one taken before the show started.
