Book, Music and Lyrics by Jonathan Hogue
Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical catapults audiences back to the neon-soaked nostalgia of the 1980s! Packed with high-energy musical numbers, outrageous character send-ups, and clever winks at the beloved Netflix series, the show flips the Upside Down right-side up as it follows the kids of Hawkins, Indiana on their hilariously heightened adventure. Eleven belts, Barb gets her due, the Demogorgon dances, and every fan-favorite moment from the first season gets lovingly skewered with a pop-theatre sensibility.
With a synth-driven score, an immersive comic-book-meets-campfire aesthetic, and a tone that balances affectionate parody with whip-smart humor, Stranger Sings! celebrates the heart and friendships at the core of the original while delighting newcomers with its manic fun. The result is a joyously off-beat musical ride—equal parts nostalgia trip, spoof, and love letter to a cultural phenomenon. Whether you’re a superfan or simply love a clever send-up, this musical promises a weird, wild, and wonderfully upside-down night at the theatre.
