Show notes

Broadway just got turned Upside Down. "Stranger Things: The First Shadow" brings the popular TV show to life on stage. Gabrielle Neveah, Alison Jaye, Burke Swanson and Juan Carlos join Google to discuss the play, which has been hailed as a "game-changing experience" that makes the unimaginable real. It's seen over 19 nominations across the Tony Awards, Drama Desk, Drama League, and the Outer Critics Circle.

The play focuses on the Creel family, specifically on Henry Creel, telling the story of how they move to Hawkins, Indiana, and how Henry goes through his transformative years as a teenager, eventually putting him on the path to become one of the main villains of the show, Vecna. Throughout the show, we get to see the earlier versions of some of the TV show's most iconic characters.
