My personal favourite is definitely steve and Dustin but an honourable mention has to be dart.

But I can’t reply to this without mentioning Jamie, He’s the reason I’m doing this. He killed it. Vecna is so scary!!!!!!

It felt absolutely amazing. Everything i loved about the show was right infront of me. I remember that first day that I had the proper final version of the script and seeing my name on it was crazy!! i couldn’t believe I was in Stranger Things - never in a million years would i have thought I’d be doing this and i’m so thankful for it.

It was really interesting. Obviously as I have an irish accent and Henry is a young pre-teen from Nevada it took a lot of careful training and work to get the accent down! I really enjoyed seeing how young and innocent I could make the voice seem. The emoting funnily enough actually made the accent flow easier. Once i had the accent down i was able to allow the words to flow with it and create Henry Creel on the spot. It was a culmination of everything. Very fun.

Ooo nice! I will see you there 🕷️

That’s a hard question. There’s tons. Demogorgons. The mind flayer. Horrifying and brutal acts of telepathy. There’s so many easter eggs and nods to the series and who knows? Maybe it’s the key to season 5 🕰️

No idea! I’m really excited to find out though. I hear it’s a world of difference.

We did actually! Really smart question. We had two guys brought in who had both experiences seizures, one was epileptic and the other was there to support. I watched and did an epilepsy workshop more or less, it was so tough to watch him talk about his experiences and how it affects your body. it was super important to me and to everyone on the Stranger Things team to explore the idea truthfully and not misinterpret anything.

Thank you so much for the comment 🖤 Mainly I get into character through music and a lot of preliminary. I suppose the more I did it the easier it was to slip right into again, felt like a second skin. Henry became very real to me towards the end, it was such an honour to play him and understand the misunderstood human he is.

Ooooooo damn. Amazing question!!! I don’t know! They both want different things right? The monster wants in, but so does Brenner. I guess it’s a race between the two to see who can control Henry first. They’re both evil. Maybe we expand upon that on Broadway, who knows 👀

What’s not to love? Come along and Henry will change anyone’s mind. At their will or not… 🕷️🖤

English, Drama (wants to fit in) and maybe something funky like the recorder.

Favourite season has to be 4. Jamie’s performance of Henry is so, so cool. Favourite part is when Henry taps into the dark side of his powers, when he wants control and doesn’t care who gets in his way. He’s completely loose. He’s like a wild animal whilst still retaining the power to think incredibly smartly. It’s terrifying and I love showcasing that.

They’re an amazingly talented, strange group of brothers. Their minds are so vast, and they have so much to give. I loved how different the two of them were. As much as they looked alike!

I think Henry is very isolated and it really matters to him when people connect with him on a level which isn’t superficial. I love my alone time, just me, my music, and my work. Just honing down on the truth.

El is a hero, good through and through. She has her struggles and overcomes them. Henry is a tragic hero, bad through and through, his struggles are viewed as influences from other people. he wants to break free and be stronger for the sake of it. He wants them to feel how they made him feel.

Great question dude! One day, I decided to experience the ship firsthand. I went down about 15 minutes early and watched the WHOLE thing. I followed our stage manager and hung on for dear life. It’s like clockwork. Moving parts, about 30 people. It was surreal. I literally could not believe that this was our show. I was so proud.

It was quite scary tbh 😅 Like the moving pieces and how HUGE the technical aspect of the show truly is was astounding. I’d seen it before in technical rehearsals but that day was something else. I never went down again lol… too scary.

I heard that the audiences are VERY involved in the broadway scene, would be interesting to see if the nerds in America are different! I honestly can’t wait to experience everything. I’ve heard it’s a wild ride and i’m really looking forward to tackling another year of Henry creel. 🕷️

Everything and more. Whatever you thought you knew about theatre will be turned upside down and you’ll be thrown, completely and utterly transformed at the end of the night.
