A new block of tickets will go on sale for the Tony Award-winning Broadway production of Stranger Things: The First Shadow today at 10:00AM ET for performances through Sunday, September 6, 2026 at the Marquis Theatre.
Stranger Things: The First Shadow tells the origin story of Stranger Things villain “Vecna,” aka “Henry Creel.” With the launch of Season 5 on Netflix, demand across Broadway and the West End productions of Stranger Things: The First Shadow saw an almost instant sustained increase in sales, with sales at their highest levels since the initial launch of both productions.
In celebration of the Stranger Things series finale, Stranger Things: The First ShadowW will host a special one-day-only, in-person ticket lottery on Sunday, January 11 at the Marquis Theatre, the date being a nod to the characters 001 and 011 from the show. Fans are invited to visit the box office between 2:30 PM and 4:30 PM for a chance to win one of eleven pairs of $11 tickets to that evening’s performance. The drawing will take place in-person at the Marquis Theatre Box Office at 5:00 PM, and you must be present to win. The eleven lottery winners will also receive exclusive merchandise bundles featuring a signed window card and select Stranger Things products from partners at Jazwares, Dr. Squatch, Funko, CoverGirl, and Sally Hansen.
The Broadway cast is led by Tony nominee Louis McCartney as Henry Creel. Starring alongside him is Rosie Benton (Patriots) as Virginia Creel, Alex Breaux (Stranger Things Season 5) as Dr. Brenner, Juan Carlos (Broadway Debut) as Bob Newby, Andrew Hovelson (Lucky Guy) as Principal Newby, Alison Jaye (Shameless) as Joyce Maldonado, Emmy Award nominee T.R. Knight (Grey’s Anatomy) as Victor Creel, Emmy Award nominee Gabrielle Nevaeh (Nickelodeon’s That Girl Lay Lay) as Patty Newby, and Burke Swanson (Back to the Future: The Musical) as James Hopper, Jr.
