Off-Broadway Opening: STRANGER SINGS! THE PARODY MUSICAL (The Players Theatre)

HAWKINS, INDIANA COMES TO NEW YORK CITY

Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical returns from the Upside Down with its off-Broadway premiere beginning this Thursday, August 5, 2021, at The Players Theatre, ahead of an official Opening Night set for Wednesday, August 11, with the strictly limited engagement set to run through Sunday, September 5.

Jalen Bunch, Dean Cestari, and Patrick Howard

Stranger Sings!, which originally played two sold-out concert runs at Feinstein’s/54 Below, is a wild and irreverent send-up of the hit Netflix series Stranger Things and all its campy 80’s glory. Take a trip back to Hawkins, Indiana, 1983: when times were simpler, hair was bigger, and unsupervised children were getting snatched by inter-dimensional creatures. Join Mike, Eleven, Lucas, Dustin, and the whole Hawkins gang for a night of adventure, thrills, indulgent pop culture references, pubescent angst, heavy synth, poor parenting, convoluted love triangles, cheap effects, dancing monsters, and maybe, just maybe… justice for everyone’s favorite frumpy ginger, Barb Holland.

Jason Daniel Chacon and Caroline Huerta

Nick Flatto directs the production, featuring an original book and score by Jonathan Hogue. The cast features Jalen Bunch, Jason Daniel Chacon, Dean Cestari, Patrick Howard, Caroline Huerta, Katelyn Lauria, Savannah-Lee Mumford, Ariana Perlson, Garrett Poladian, Adele Simms, and Glory Yepassis-Zembrou.

In addition to Flatto and Hogue, the creative team for Stranger Sings! includes Michael Kaish (Musical Direction & Orchestrations), Ashley Marinelli (Choreography), James Ortiz (Scenic Design), Cassandra McCall Endicott (Costume Design), Jesse Scott (Lighting Design), Megan ‘Deets’ Cully (Sound Design).
