Should I see the Stranger Things theatre show before season 5 comes to Netflix?

This story, written by the creators of the show, serves as an official prequel to the Netflix series, set 24 years before the first season. Viewers will see younger versions of characters they already know, like Joyce Byers, Jim Hopper, and Bob Newby, when they were in high school. It also features the origins of the latest villain, Henry Creel – also known as Vecna and One.
