This was the best performance I have ever seen. The story was amazing. And I can't say this enough Louis Healy ( Henry ) was just mind blowing. The way he moved his body and acted was just incredible. The rest were also good. But he was just outstanding. The special effects were also amazing.

Very good realization! Mega good effects! Even my daughter, who doesn't understand a word of English, understood the performance well... 👍👍👍

I love the play! My place was in a very unfortunate row, "S", so I barely can see the elevated acts, but anyway: effects, actors, storyline, music! This is how the modern play looks like! I really hope Netflix will have an adaptation/recording,because I want to rewatch it already. Love it.

I was a little confused on how this ties into the main series in the first part of the show. I was blown away once everything clicked into place with amazing performances from the crew, fleshing out the background to known characters and how it all fits in. The sets and effects were done very well and is definitely something you cannot miss as a Stranger Things fan leading into the final season!

The seats in the theater were an imposition! My knees were right up against the seat in front of me. You sat crammed into your seat for the entire performance.

This was the most enjoyable stage show I've seen in a long time. I was nervous because our seats were so far back, but the view was still good. It was exciting with the most spectacular special effects and also funny moments when actors joined the audience at various times.

It was the best show I have seen in west end so far. The story was amazing and the cast was too good. The overall production and set was phenomenal as well. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the show. Epic!

Headout was great. The show itself was so full of needless cursing and sexual nonesense that it ruined much of the storyline. This show was clearly written by children who believe that naughty langauge is a substitute for story. Still, there were enough good moments that the show was still ok in the end. I only wish that the theater kids who wrote this play go out in the world a bit more to understand the human condition outside their own dramatic world.

Show was great and surpassed our expectations. Acting was verg good and the unexpected stage sets were brilliant. Couldn't fault it. Our seats were ok, we got what we paid for.

It was exciting to learn more about the story of Henry - I would recommend to everyone who enjoyed Stranger Things on Netflix (for anyone who has not seen it some parts might be confusing). All in all worth a visit!

Excellent performance and special effects. If you are a strangers things fan definitely recommend seeing this show. The only criticism is the seats R27,R26 you couldn't see part of the performance when they were on the ship at the beginning or bridge towards the end where Patty fell as the upper circle blocked the view, even trying to bend towards it didn't work.
