THE BEST!
I went to see it once, the next day again, and two three months later again!! The best thing I have ever seen, the cast was amazing and omg I can’t express how good it was!! I bought a demogorgon plush, two programs, ice cream, beanie, pin badge and a book mark, I loved everything about this show, I miss it so much! Just thinking about it now makes me think about how alive it was and how it made me extremely interested and inspired! I look up to everyone in the cast and everything about it was amazing! Hopefully I can see this again someday, loved it all! Highly recommend.

INCREDIBLE OTHER-WORDLY EXPERIENCE
This production and the positive reviews peaked my curiosity. Did not disappoint. The acting really drew you into the world of Hawkins and weaves a tale that will absolutely delight and keep you captive. The effects are next level. #mindblowing It was an immersive theatrical experience that kept us all on thr edge of our seats. Amazingly spectacular Highly recommend

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT
Me and my mum went as a late birthday present and I was left in shock. It was my first ever theatre show and it was brilliant. I was astounded at the acting and brilliant plot. Amazing cast thank you for this brilliant experience

UNREAL!
This show was crazy good, the effects, the jimpscares, the acting, everything was just perfect. It was just so good and the way it links to season 4 was just so perfect. Highly recommend going to watch just because it's the best play I've ever watched in my life!

SPECIAL EFFECTS, RUDE AUDIENCE
The play was quite a spectacle, absolutely amazing and accomplished effects and staging. Definitely worth seeing if you're a stranger things fan. The theatre itself slightly damaged the experience of the show as many attendees were drunk and we had to sit next to a woman literally eating a full takeout dinner, rustling all the way through. The venue didnt help by selling booze and noisy snacks like popcorn amd sweets, like a cinema. If the audience was more respectful and the venue encouraged better behaviour it would have been a better experience overall.

IF YOU ARE A FAN, YOU WILL LOVE IT
Ambitious, certainly; inventive, undeniably; polished, naturally; interesting - I am not so sure. If you are totally impartial and unbiased, you would have to say Ocean At The End of the Lane (National Theatre) was more creative and galloped along compared to this production. Would I see ST again, no, but I would buy a ticket now if I hadn't, yes (if only to enjoy the producers' and directors stab at trying to do something massive and different). Overall its only just a miss (fans will keep it open for a while). That said, if you are a fan of the TV series, you will love it and I certainly wouldn't recommend you do not see it.

INSANE Exhilarating heart-wrenching
As someone not typically a fan of thrillers or sci-fi, I thoroughly enjoyed it, even if I had to close my eyes occasionally.
"Stranger Things - The First Shadow" received high praise and excitement upon its opening at the Phoenix Theatre. As expected, the show quickly became a must-see, especially for fans of the hit Netflix series.
