The Plot
After its successful run in London, Stranger Things: The First Shadow arrives on Broadway to captivate audiences in New York. The play, a prequel to the famous Netflix series, takes us back to 1959 in Hawkins, Indiana, to tell the story of the Creel family, who are looking for a new beginning, especially for their teenage son Henry, whose main goal is to escape his turbulent past.
Upon arriving in Hawkins, Henry meets Patty, a strange outsider who, thanks to their romance, gives him hope for the first time in his life. However, a wave of crimes hits the city and Henry is forced to face a terrifying truth.
Mystery and suspense permeate every moment of the show, taking the audience on an incredible emotional journey that is only possible in the world of Stranger Things. This play has become a must-see on the New York stage, where special effects create a truly innovative theatrical experience. Proof of this are the two Olivier Awards it has won, including Best New Play.
What's more, you can enjoy the play even if you haven't seen the series, as you'll get to know the younger versions of the adults who star in the series. It'll be like travelling back in time to discover their origins!
Marquis Theatre
Stranger Things: The First Shadow is performed in the Marquis Theatre on Broadway. Located on the third floor of the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel, in Midtown Manhattan, this theatre opened in 1986 and has since hosted productions of notable musicals and plays, such as Me and My Girl, Annie Get Your Gun and Victor/Victoria. The theatre is also famous for its large size, with a capacity of over 1,600 spectators!
Seating Plan
The theatre assigns the best available seats together at the time of purchase. The sooner you book, the better! You can book tickets in the following areas:
- Front Orchestra / Mid Orchestra / Front Mezzanine: the Orchestra is the area on the ground floor or stalls (auditorium), closest to the stage. It offers a direct view of the performance. The Mezzanine refers to the mezzanine level, the first level above the Orchestra area. It's ideal for appreciating the entire stage and the choreography. Front seats correspond to the first rows of each section, while the Mid section is located in the middle of each area.
- Orchestra / Front Orchestra Sides / Mid Orchestra Sides / Mid Mezzanine: sides refers to the side seats. They are located to the left or right of the center, with a slight incline, but are still excellent.
- Rear Orchestra / Mid Mezzanine Sides / Mid Mezzanine Far Sides: these are the rear seats of the orchestra or mezzanine.
