STRANGER SINGS! AN UNAUTHORIZED PARODY MUSICAL Turns 54 Below Upside Down

FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents Stranger Sings! on October 13th 2018 at 11:30pm.

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.

Stranger Sings! is a parody musical that lovingly riffs on the first two seasons of that one 80's-themed Netflix show and all its campy nostalgic glory. 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, singing monsters, and maybe, just maybe, justice for everyone's favorite frumpy ginger, Barb Holland. Featuring an exciting cast of NYC Theatre and Feinstein's/54 Below favorites, prepare to go Upside Down with Stranger Sings! An Unauthorized Parody Musical!

An Unauthorized Parody Musical plays Feinstein's/54 Below (254 West 54thStreet) on October 13th, 2018, at 11:30pm.There is a $25-45 cover charge and 2 drink or $20 food and beverage minimum.
