February 2 – April 25, 2025
Randolph Theatre, 736 Bathurst St.
The Off-Broadway hit, Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical, has arrived in Toronto! In a brand-new production, this loving musical take on the iconic Netflix series plays a 12-week limited engagement at the Randolph Theatre beginning January 28th.
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! THE PARODY MUSICAL is a hilarious ‘upside down’ take on the hit Netflix series – and all its campy 1980s glory.
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 favourite missing ginger, Barb Holland.
With book, music, and lyrics written by Jonathan Hogue, Stranger Sings! won Best New Musical in the Off-Broadway Broadway World Awards, and has had international productions in the U.K., Australia, Spain, and Brazil. The Upside Down finally comes to Toronto.
The original Toronto production is directed by Zachary Mansfield, with lighting designed by Linas Kairys, costumes designed by Andrew Nasturzio, choreography by Kendra Marie Brophy, and music directed by Diana Chappell. The Toronto cast features Sydney Gauvin (Barb), Rebecca Rodley (Will/Joyce), Duncan Lang (Hopper), Dante Toccacelli, (Steve/Jonathan), Jean Blandon (Dustin), Charlie Clements (Lucas), Paulina Luciani (Nancy/Eleven), Alekzander Rosolowski (Mike), Alyssa Lyn, Dario Dvon, and Clark J. Burger (Standbys). The show is presented by Mansfield Entertainment (Joan Mansfield & James Mansfield, Executive Producers).
The Toronto production official opens on February 2nd. Performances weekly: Tue-Sat 7:30 PM and Sat-Sun 1:30 PM, until April 26th. Ticket prices range $19.99 – $89.99. Advance sales online only. Tickets and more information available at www.StrangerSingsCanada.ca.
