STRANGER SINGS! Reveals New Global Streaming Dates for Live Capture

After enthusiastic demand from the recent streaming premiere of Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical, the hit off-Broadway musical will present new global streaming dates on Stellar Live for fans around the world.

The immersive in-the-round musical was captured in front of a live audience in 4K during its recent multi-extended run at Playhouse 46 in New York City. On July 1st and 15th, Stranger Sings will offer four streaming opportunities, all playing at 7pm in four unique time zones - New York Eastern EDT, Los Angeles Pacific PDT, London/UK BST, and Australian Eastern EST - to give the opportunity for both US and international audiences to experience this show from their very own 80's basement, secret fort, or Upside Down lair. Audiences who tune in will not only get to watch the stream but can also interact with other fans using a simultaneous live chat feature. Virtual tickets start at $19.99, with specialty merchandise and authentic show props available for purchase at StrangerSings.StellarTickets.com.

With book, music and lyrics by Drama Desk Award nominee Jonathan Hogue, Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical brings everyone's favorite series to hilariously-twisted life on stage. Previously captured at Playhouse 46 before a live audience, the streaming presentations feature the original Off-Broadway cast of the Drama Desk-nominated musical: Jamir Brown as Lucas, Shawn Smith as Hopper, Jeremiah Garcia as Dustin, Caroline Huerta as Joyce/Will, Jeffrey Laughrun as Mike, Garrett Poladian as Steve/Jonathan, Harley Seger as Eleven / Nancy, and SLee as Barb. The live capture of Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical is Executive Produced by Sue Gilad, Larry Rogowsky, Jonathan Hogue, Nick Flatto, and Jason Turchin, along with video producers John Andrews, Dave Marken, and Parrish Smith. The original production was produced by Sue Gilad, Larry Rogowsky, Nick Flatto, and Jonathan Hogue. Co-Producers include Catherine Schreiber, Bard Theatricals, Miranda Farag, Inbal & Ron Gonen, Xin Wen, and Jason Turchin / Jim Kierstead. Joseph Longthorne is an Associate Producer.

"For the last year of our run off-Broadway, we've had audiences from all over the world clamoring for a pro-shot so they can experience this hilarious new musical from the comfort of their homes," say Stranger Sings! creator Jonathan Hogue. "Now, we are thrilled to present this beautiful 4k seven-camera pro-shot that captures the kinetic hilarity of our immersive in-the-round production at Playhouse 46. Featuring our original off-Broadway cast, we can't wait to offer fans of the Netflix series a new 'upside down' take on their favorite characters."

Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical is a wild and irreverent send-up of the hit Netflix series "Stranger Things" and 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 Holland.

"This is a tremendous opportunity to support the theater community. Live captures give fans around the world a chance to experience some of the best theater from their own homes while watching at the same time as thousands of others," says Executive Producer Jason Turchin. "While this is not intended to replace live performance, livestreaming and captures can give access to professional theater to communities and students around the world who don't had the ability to experience it live," adds Turchin.
