Stranger Things kids steal show at New York’s Elsie Fest
By Tribute on September 7, 2016 | 3 Comments
The Stranger Things kids can’t be taken anywhere, at least not without outshining everyone in attendance.
For Labor Day, actors Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin — who play Dustin and Lucas in the hit sci-fi series, respectively — showed off some of their other skills while at Elsie Fest. Hosted on New York’s Coney Island, the one-day outdoor event is a celebration of music and the arts.
Glee‘s Darren Criss created the event last year and was in fine form this year. Joining him and the Stranger Things breakouts was Tony-nominated actress Megan Hilty; Tituss Burgess of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt; Hedwig and the Angry Inch star Lena Hall; RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race judge and star of the upcoming Kinky Boots Todrick Hall; and Corey Cott of Newsies.
Held at the Ford Amphitheater, the celebrities in attendance sang their favorite show tunes and also took part in meet-and-greets with fans.
Check out a few performances uploaded to YouTube (including a great cover of “I Just Can’t Wait to be King” by Darren, Caleb, and Caleb’s younger sister!), as well as some posts from the stars’ Instagram pages.

I think I’m the only person left on earth who hasn’t watched Stranger Things
The kids are amazing. And clearly I need to learn more about Corey Cott.
Rice – you need to watch it! I wasn’t sure – not a huge Winona Ryder fan, but the kids are amazing and you get totally hooked – I watched the entire first season with my 19 year old daughter in a day – couldn’t stop watching
