Taking place in Hawkins, Indiana, in 1983, when life was simpler, hair was longer, and unattended children were abducted by extra-terrestrial beings, the acclaimed sci-fi parody is a wild, cheeky twist on the hit Netflix series.

Set to debut this Autumn as The Vaults’ first in-house musical, Stranger Sings assures a night of indulgent pop

Director Ellis Kerkhoven said: “Working with the fabulous team on Stranger Sings The Parody Musical has been a blast. What could be more perfect during this rather oppressive and serious time in the World, than a whole dose of joy, silliness and shameless musical theatre?!

“Rehearsals have been fast, furious and fun – and directing this hilarious, talented cast has been a dream. As the show goes from strength to strength over in the US, we here in Team UK have worked for months, ensuring the show appeals to our sense of humour, creative tastes and caters for the nations insatiable appetite for 80’s retro nostalgia!

“Anyone who comes to see the show at the Vaults, a perfect ‘upside down’ venue(!) will leave uplifted and singing these fab songs for days!”
