Stranger Things: The First Shadow Review: Stage Prequel Spectacle

"Stranger Things: The First Shadow," a stage production at select theaters, offers an origin story for Henry Creel (Season 4's Vecna) without compromising the show's continuity. It features familiar characters like Joyce Byers and Jim Hopper, with strong performances from Louis McCartney and Alison Jaye. While it's engaging and visually impressive, it occasionally struggles in its second act, but overall, it's a must-watch for fans of the series.
