What is the update on the Stranger Things Broadway prequel show?
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Broadway show Stranger Things: The First Shadow is being filmed this week. Netflix plans to release the recording at a later date, though they haven’t announced when it will be available to stream.
According to the article, the show was filmed to preserve a recording of the original Broadway cast before their contracts end on March 29th. Performances were temporarily paused from February 10th to 14th to accommodate the filming, and will resume on February 15th.
The play explores the question of whether monsters are created by nature or circumstance. Set in Hawkins, Indiana, in 1959, the Creel family hopes for a new beginning, particularly their teenage son, Henry, who wants to leave his difficult past behind. He finds a glimmer of hope when he connects with Patty, another outsider, and a romance begins to blossom. However, a series of disturbing crimes rocks the town, forcing Henry to face a frightening possibility: could he be connected to the evil that’s happening around him? This standalone story offers a thrilling dive into the world of Stranger Things, filled with suspense and shocking moments.
The Broadway show features Burke Swanson as James Hopper Jr., Alison Jaye as Joyce Maldonado, Juan Carlos as Bob Newby, Louis McCartney as Henry Creel, and other talented actors.
