Stranger Things: The First Shadow has announced final performances on both sides of the Atlantic, closing in London’s West End on December 27, 2026 and on Broadway January 3, 2027, after more than three years in London and about 1.5 years on Broadway. The production, which won Olivier Awards for Best Entertainment or Comedy Play and Best Set Design and earned four Tony Awards (including Best Scenic Design, Best Lighting Design, Best Sound Design, plus a Special Tony for Illusions and Technical Effects), is produced by Netflix and Sonia Friedman Productions and directed by Stephen Daldry. The Duffer Brothers praised the creative team, and the show’s cast included Louis McCartney as Henry Creel, among others, marking a notable milestone in hit-adapted theatre tied to the Stranger Things universe.
