“Stranger Things: The First Shadow,” a stage prequel to Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” will end its runs in both London’s West End and on Broadway, producers announced. The show is scheduled to complete its West End engagement at the Phoenix Theatre in London on December 27, 2026. Its Broadway run at the Marquis Theatre is set to conclude on January 3, 2027, with the final performances arriving during the winter holiday season. The production opened in London in 2025 and opened on Broadway in 2025 as well, with reporting indicating the show will have played for a little over three years in the West End by the time it closes and for roughly just over two years on Broadway. Multiple outlets also note that the show has received major stage recognition in both markets, including Olivier awards in London and Tony awards on Broadway. In parallel, coverage referenced the continued popularity of the underlying TV series, including the release of its fifth and final season, while no additional official connection to the stage production’s closing was announced.
