Play creators and creative producers Matt and Ross Doffer spoke on the production saying, “when the legendary Stephen Daldry first came to us with the idea of making a ‘Stranger Things’play, we were stunned—both by the fact that Stephen wanted to do this, and that he believed it could work. And boy, did it work. We remain awed by what Stephen, Kate Trefry, Justin Martin, and all the brilliant behind-the-scenes wizards were able to pull off: cinematic theatre unlike anything else out there. Their incredible work drew audiences from all over—a majority of whom had never even been to a Broadway show before. We’d also like to give a standing ovation to the incredibly gifted actors who stepped into these roles—including the Tony-nominated Louis McCartney —and to the fans, who made each and every performance so memorable.”
The original Broadway cast gave their las performance on March 29.
The Broadway and West End play was spawned from the hit Netflix series “Stranger Things”.
