What is the Stranger Things live show about?
This gripping new adventure will take you right back to the beginning of the Stranger Things story – and may hold the key to the end. Hawkins, 1959. Before the world turned upside down… Before Jim Hopper and Joyce Maldonado had to survive demons from alternate dimensions, they had to survive high school. When new student Henry Creel arrives, his family finds that a fresh start isn’t so easy, and the shadows of the past have a very long reach.
