The off Broadway hit spoofs the spooky Netflix show, its characters, the ’80s and more
Thanks to her return as Lydia Deetz in the movie sequel “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” Winona Ryder is trending again. But then the 52-year-old film star who broke out in the original “Beetlejuice” in 1988 was already trending on account of her recurring role as mom Joyce Byers on the hit Netflix series “Stranger Things.”
It’s making its West Coast premiere this weekend at Oceanside Theatre Company’s Sunshine Brooks Theater. OTC Artistic Director Kevin “Blax” Burroughs, who’s directing the show, first caught “Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical” in a streaming production in August of last year, though he’d previously fallen for it “because I’d been listening to the cast recording many times. The second that I watched it just to see it on its feet I thought ‘This is for me.
Speaking of “Beetlejuice,” there’s a tune called “Crazy” that showcases Joyce but also Winona Ryder herself. The others include Priya Richard from New Village Arts’ “Fun Home”; Tirzah from Moxie Theatre’s “Man and Moon”; Allyce Calloway, seen earlier this year in OTC’s “Chicken & Biscuits”; Sophia LaRosh, who was in San Diego Musical Theatre’s “Legally Blonde;” Tommy Tran and Dylan August. Fredy Gomez Cruz is playing Hopper, chief of police for the city of Hawkins.
