What I liked

Everything including the original music, the snappy choreography and the cast. At the curtain call I found myself looking for the characters who weren’t on stage, momentarily forgetting (because of how talented they are) that all the actors played multiple roles.

What I didn't like

Some of the songs could have used one less repeat of the chorus at the end. But they were so fun I had to keep from singing along at the end, myself.

My overall impression

Somehow the entire season 2 of Stranger Things was squeezed into a very short and very fun musical. Definitely worth seeing for fans of the show and anyone who likes sci-fi stories. While the show has it’s fun, the actors play it for real which makes the laughs and the moments of silence much more satisfying. The staging is brilliant, I sat on the side and never once felt like I was missing anything.
