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.”

Witness for the Prosecution

Great drama play. Absolutely brilliant plot and performance. It also give you the feel of attending a trial in a court.
Highly recommended!

The Book of Mormon
Korral Shapira
I had one night to myself in London and decided to check out the Book of Mormon. It was incredible and absolutely hilarious!! Every actor on that stage is nothing short of phenomenal. I had the absolute best time and would recommend this show and theatre to anyone!!

Moulin Rouge! The Musical
Helene Le Du
A very beautiful show. The costumes are a feast for the eyes. The story is easy to follow, even without subtitles. We didn't expect the dialogues to be so funny. Lots of covers of well-known songs.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow

The show was incredible, it felt like a movie but in real life. The performers were Amazing ; the sound and spécial effects were crazy good. I was seated at the extrême left side but still had a perfect view (except at few moments when there were scenes at the back of the stage). I wish I could re-Watch it again 😭

The Lion King
Loo Lip Jin
The Lyceum Theater was very nice, but unfortuantely they charge £1 for booster seats. I mean we already paid quite a lot for the ticket but was shocked to know. The Seats at the theater was very nice and the atmosphere was just right for the Lion King, sound stage was clear and everyone was in awe. Highly recommended for those who want to relive the Lion King Era.

The Play That Goes Wrong
Kathryn Lies
We sat in the center of dress circle, which is a great place to sit (unless you are very short, then I would suggest the front row of the dress circle). It was non-stop laughter the entire time. The only downside was the length; I think the second half was a little too long, and the audience was getting tired. Otherwise, a wonderful play, and a good choice for the one play that we were able to see on our short visit to London!
