Juan Carlos, one of the original cast members of Stranger Things: The First Shadow, is set to return to the show after recovering from an injury he suffered on stage in June, Deadline reports.
Carlos injured his leg while jumping onto a turntable on stage and suffering an awkward landing. He finished the show and performed in the following show despite being in pain. Later it was revealed that he tore ligments in his ACL and meniscus. He underwent surgery and, five months later, is now recovered and returning to the show.
“When I got injured on stage back in June, I was told it would take 9 months post-surgery in July to get myself fully recovered and performing again,” Carlos said. “I cried the whole subway ride home. To go from my Broadway debut, one of the most exciting moments of my life, to an extended medical leave, felt like the worst moment of my life.”
Juan Carlos will return to the role he originated, Bob Newby, beginning on Monday, December 29. Understudy Patrick Scott McDermott has filled in during Carlos’ absence.
