See it if One of the best
Don't see it if Could not get. Better. Acting and music
See it if you like parodies, musicals, and a fan of Stranger Things, or at least prep for it w/ a crash viewing of video recaps in YouTube like I did.
Don't see it if you are clueless of the Netflix series as you would get lost in the fast paced plot line and multiple characters played by the superb cast.
See it if Very funny, musical parody of the 1st season of the Netflix show “Stranger Things”. You will get the most out of this if you have seen that.

Don't see it if you didn't watch the show. It won't make sense to you & you won't find it funny. Being familiar with what they're parodying is essential. Read more
See it if You love musical theatre, or are a fan of the TV series. This is probably one of the best examples or a parody musical I’ve seen.
Don't see it if You’re not into the show or musicals in general, as there’s a lot asides for those in the know. A very high energy, fast paced, 2 hours

"Smartly, 'Stranger Sings!' handpicks only a few key moments from the latter seasons to add, making the show feel up-to-date without being overwhelming."

"You don’t have to be an ardent follower of the Netflix to be thoroughly entertained by Jonathan Hogue’s sprightly, savvy book, music and lyrics, all of which reveal a budding theater-maker."

"If you’ve never seen 'Stranger Things,' prepare to be hopelessly lost when it comes to the entangled plotlines, but stick around for the handful of dynamic performances, clever choreography and amusing shoutouts to film musicals."

"Maybe it’s unfair to rag on the show having been written several years ago. But it would help if Stranger Sings was more diverting purely as a musical. The songs are serviceably bouncy, but immediately forgettable."

This energetically performed and well-presented musical spoof of the Netflix Sci-Fi series will delight fans and its zaniness should entertain non-viewers.

"All in all, Stranger Sings: The Parody Musical is much like its televisual counterpart—one wild adventure best enjoyed with friends."

"Theater that recreates television in all its reassuring comfort-food predictability, with familiar characters in familiar settings acting out familiar story lines. There’s something to be said for a live show that manages to recreate the laid-back atmosphere of your living room."

"With a bit of work, Stranger Sings! could truly live up to its full potential as a parody of the beloved Netflix show. The cast and crew clearly have a love for the original and a passion for putting on a great performance, but there could be improvements for audiences visiting the Upside Down."
