Stranger Things: The First Shadow transports the iconic 1980s sci-fi series from the small screen to the West End stage with flair and creativity. Directed by the three-time Oscar-nominated Stephen Daldry, the play serves as a prequel to the beloved TV series, offering fans a deeper dive into the mysteries of Hawkins, Indiana.

Nick Curtis,
The Standard5/5
“This astonishing experience is full of enough thrills, scares and knowing nods to please fans and the uninitiated in equal measure”
Arifa Akbar,
The Guardian5/5
“This origin story has all the dark mystery of the Duffer Brothers’ Netflix series and delivers one coup de theatre after another”
Alice Saville,
Independent4/5
“Humungous projections, a big musical score, an onslaught of foam, dry ice and flares: this big-budget stage play from the ‘Stranger Things’ universe spares no bombastic effect to bring new audiences flocking to the West End.”

This show was fantastic - high energy and a celebration of each Queen individually and as a group. I attended with my 16 year old theater daughter and we had a wonderful time. Despite it being a busy Sunday afternoon show before their evening performance, a couple performers took the time to stop outside and chat, sign, take photos with the group waiting outside, which was greatly appreciated. Thank you for an excellent overall experience. View from my seat: dress circle G 17

The performers were excellent and so enthusiastic. I theaters was small, so we had a good view. Enjoyed the drink I had.

The show was wonderful; even though it's such a long play, it's incredibly entertaining and the time just flies by. We were in the stalls and the view was great! Not only does the story draw you in, but the special effects and the actors' performances never cease to amaze you.

The dancers' performance was exceptional! The atmosphere, with the theme of becoming the perfect man, was fantastic! The performers are very professional, and consent is always a top priority! It was the perfect evening, especially for a bachelorette party!

I was able to get a last minute ticket for Titanique at a very reasonable price. While I had partially obstructed view, I was still able to see everything just fine.
This show was incredible! Absolutely hilarious and fantastic performances and I would recommend it in a heartbeat to any fan of Titanic.
