While it’s still unclear when fans will be able to stream the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, a new Netflix documentary that was released today goes behind the scenes at a new Stranger Things play on London’s West End that dives deep into the backstory of Henry Creel, known on the show as One or Vecna.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow has made the jump to Broadway now, and while the wait for Stranger Things 5 continues, it’s now possible to immerse yourself in the world of Hawkins without leaving the theater district.

The new play, currently in previews at the Marquis Theater, has an open-ended run with tickets currently on sale through mid-November 2025.

At the time of publication, tickets for the haunting production start at just $56 before fees on Vivid Seats.

Other shows have tickets starting anywhere from $77 to $107 before fees.

All prices listed above are subject to fluctuation.

Following an April 22 opening night, Stranger Things: The First Shadow will stick to a standard eight-show Broadway schedule with no performances on Monday evenings and two performances per day on Saturday and Sunday. Most evening performances start at 7 p.m., while matinees begin at 1 p.m.
