Amid an incredible, Olivier Award-winning run on the West End, the Upside Down is heading for Broadway, with the Stranger Things play set to debut next year.
Based on an original story by Stranger Things creators The Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things: The First Shadow blew audiences away in London after premiering at the Phoenix Theatre in Dec. 2023. A technical marvel and Netflix’s stage debut, the play will open at Marquis Theatre in New York on Tuesday, Apr. 22, 2025.
Directed by Stephen Daldry with Justin Martin, the play was written by Stranger Things writer and co-executive producer Kate Trefry, with a narrative based on a story by Trefry, the Duffer Brothers, and The Cursed Child‘s Jack Thorne (a lotta folks involved).
