Stranger Things: The First Shadow
A Broadway prequel at the Marquis Theatre exploring events that set the stage for the supernatural mysteries of the beloved Netflix series.
Stranger Things: The First Shadow is one of Broadway's headline experiences, drawing audiences night after night to Times Square / Theater District. Expect a 2.5-hour run-time with one intermission, professional-grade staging and the unmistakable energy that defines a Broadway house.
Book early for prime seats — orchestra center and front mezzanine typically sell out furthest in advance. Arrive 30 minutes before curtain to allow for ticket scan, the small concession line and finding your seat. Smart-casual dress is the norm.
