Earlier this month, it was revealed that a “Stranger Things” stage play is in the works — and Netflix might as well make it a musical, because nearly every cast member of the beloved sci-fi series is musically inclined.
Among the four Hawkins, Ind., boys viewers were introduced to in 2016 — Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo), Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin) and Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) — two of the actors got their start on Broadway, while another has proved his chops as a guitarist and singer. Even the performers behind high schoolers Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton) and Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) have histories in alt-rock groups.
And as more actors were added throughout the seasons, like Sadie Sink and Maya Hawke, the show’s musical prowess only grew — Sink played the title role in Broadway’s “Annie” revival and Hawke is a rising singer-songwriter preparing to release her sophomore record. Seriously, the “Stranger Things” cast should start a band.
