Millie Bobby Brown Skips Stranger Things: The First Shadow Broadway Premiere; Here’s Why

by

As a lifestyle expert, I might say: “I, much like Millie Bobby Brown, have found myself deeply engrossed in my current project, specifically the filming of Enola Holmes 3 for Netflix. Regrettably, this has kept me from gracing the Broadway premiere of Stranger Things: The First Shadow at New York’s Marquis Theatre on April 22nd. Though I was eager to witness the play’s official opening, my dedication to this popular detective series leaves little room for other commitments.

In a different rendition, we can say that this actress is portraying the lead character of Enola Holmes, who is Sherlock Holmes’ witty younger sibling. Notably, she has participated in several productions by Netflix, such as Damsel and The Electric State, which made its debut in March.

In the third part of the Enola Holmes saga, we’ll welcome back Henry Cavill playing Sherlock Holmes, Helena Bonham Carter as Eudoria Holmes, and Louis Partridge as Tewkesbury. Joining them this time is Himesh Patel portraying Dr. Watson, with Sharon Duncan-Brewster stepping into the role of Mira Troy.

The movie is helmed by director Philip Barantini and scripted by Jack Thorne, adapting the books written by Nancy Springer. Prior to this, these two collaborated on Netflix’s Adolescence, as reported by PEOPLE.

Based on the official summary, “The adventure leads detective Enola Holmes to Malta, where her personal and professional aspirations intertwine in a complex and dangerous case that proves to be more intricate and perilous than any she’s encountered previously.

During Brown’s absence, a number of stars from the original Stranger Things series graced The First Shadow team with their presence. The gathering saw notable attendees like Noah Schnapp, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Jamie Campbell Bower, Cara Buono, Matthew Modine, Brett Gelman, and Priah Ferguson.

Sadie Sink wasn’t present at the premiere, but she made an appearance at a special screening event on her day off, which happened to be a Monday, while she was taking a break from acting in “John Proctor Is the Villain” at Broadway’s Booth Theatre.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: Dive into a captivating prequel titled “Stranger Things: The First Shadow,” set in the vibrant town of Hawkins, Indiana, back in 1959. This intriguing tale delves into the lives of characters we know from the hit TV series, such as Jim Hopper, Joyce Maldonado, Bob Newby, and Henry Creel – who transforms into the terrifying character, Vecna. Penned by Kate Trefry, a gifted writer on the show since season 2, she shared with PEOPLE that this project granted her an incredible creative freedom to let her imagination run wild.

The script needed to align with our previous show episodes and also connect to Season 5, as both were being worked on concurrently during the playwriting process. Directed by Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin, this production moved from its successful stint at London’s West End to Broadway.
