Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical is a hilarious, wild and irreverent ‘upside down’ send-up of the hit Netflix series in all its campy '80s 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, pubescent angst, heavy synth, poor parenting, convoluted love triangles, cheap effects, dancing monsters, and maybe, just maybe... justice for everyone's favorite missing ginger, Barb.
 
To celebrate its release, BroadwayHD subscribers are invited to join a digital Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical watch party, in which fans will simultaneously stream the show, and discuss it live together on social media. Simply press “PLAY” on July 24 at 7pm EST to join the fun!
