The production, based on the hit Netflix series, will conclude both runs in London and New York.
It has been announced that the critically acclaimed Stranger Things: The First Shadow will close at the Phoenix Theatre in London and at the Marquis Theatre on Broadway.
Having originally opened at the Phoenix Theatre in 2023, it will play its final performance in the West End on the 27th December 2026 and at the Marquis Theatre on Broadway on the 3rd January 2027.
Having won Olivier Awards for Best Entertainment and Best Set Design, the Critics’ Circle Awards for Best Set Design and Most Promising Newcomer, and the WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Play, the show opened on Broadway earlier this year. It went on to win Tony Awards for Best Scenic Design of a Play, Best Lighting Design of a Play, Best Sound Design of a Play, and a Special Tony Award for Illusions and Technical Effects.
Matt and Ross Duffer, creative producers and creators of the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, said today, “When the legendary Stephen Daldry first came to us with the idea of making a Stranger Things play, we were stunned — both by the fact that Stephen wanted to do this, and that he believed it could work. And boy, did it work.
“We remain awed by what Stephen, Kate Trefry, Justin Martin, and all the brilliant behind-the-scenes wizards were able to pull off: cinematic theater unlike anything else out there. Their incredible work drew audiences from all over — a majority of whom had never even been to a Broadway show before.
“We’d also like to give a standing ovation to the incredibly gifted actors who stepped into these roles — including the Tony-nominated Louis McCartney — and to the fans, who made each and every performance so memorable.”
Meanwhile, Directors Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin added, “To be entrusted with bringing The Duffer Brothers’ incredible creation to the stage has been an utter joy. We are immensely proud of the talent and dedication of the cast and creative team over the past three years – each and every member an integral part of the process of bringing this story to life. Finally, a massive thank you to the fans, many of whom have never stepped inside a theatre before, for welcoming us and joining us every performance in the West End and on Broadway!”
