Premiering on April 15th, Behind the Curtain: Stranger Things: The First Shadow will take viewers into the Upside Down with the production team and feel the excitement as they race against time to prepare the ambitious, boundary-pushing stage show for its London debut amid mounting pressures and high expectations from fans and critics. The documentary is directed by Jon Halperin, produced by Angus Wall, Kent Kubena, and Terry Leonard, and executive produced by Matt Bell – and we have a preview of what you can expect waiting for you below. Image: Netflix Here's a look at the documentary announcement that was released earlier today, followed by a rundown of what you need to know about Stranger Things: The First Shadow and its move to Broadway: Are monsters born… or made? In 1959 Hawkins, Indiana, the Creel family seeks a fresh start, especially their teenage son Henry, who is eager to escape his troubled past. Initially, things go well — he finds friendship and joins the school play. But when a wave of shocking crimes strikes the town, Henry is forced to confront a terrifying truth: is there something inside him that connects him to the horrors unfolding around him? As this thrilling mystery races forward, shadows of the past are unleashed, relationships are tested, and the town of Hawkins faces the ultimate question: can the power of friendship outshine the darkness within? #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode in wp-includes/media.php */ Image: Netflix and Sonia Friedman Productions Image: Netflix and Sonia Friedman Productions Image: Netflix and Sonia Friedman Productions Image: Netflix and Sonia Friedman Productions Image: Netflix and Sonia Friedman Productions Image: Netflix and Sonia Friedman Productions Stranger Things: The First Shadow Broadway Production Details Stranger Things: The First Shadow features Rosie Benton as Virginia Creel, Alex Breaux as Dr. Brenner, Andrew Hovelson as Principal Newby, Alison Jaye as Joyce Maldonado, Emmy Award nominee T.R.
