Critical Role Sets Global Live Tour in Celebration of 10-Year Anniversary
variety.comTodd Spangler NY Digital Editor Attention, Critters! Critical Role next year is turning 10, and the Dungeons & Dragon role-playing troupe is staging a worldwide tour to mark the milestone.
In 2025, Critical Role’s eight founders and performers will bring live shows to five cities: Chicago, Fishers, Ind. (a suburb of Indianapolis) and New York City in the U.S., and Sydney and Melbourne in Australia. (See below for dates and venues.) Each live show will be a standalone event, although the pair of Australian shows will have “some loose narrative connection,” the company said.
The shows will weave new stories within the world of Critical Role’s Exandria with the founding cast: Matthew Mercer, Ashley Johnson, Marisha Ray, Taliesin Jaffe, Travis Willingham, Sam Riegel, Laura Bailey and Liam O’Brien.
The tour is being produced with live entertainment company AEG Presents and Australia’s Frontier Touring. Additional details on the tour including ticketing info are available at this link. “Embarking on a global journey to bring Critical Role to the stage in brand-new cities with our ragtag group of adventurers is nothing short of a dream,” Marisha Ray, co-founder and creative director of Critical Role, said in a statement. “Let alone during our tenth year of telling stories together — I couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate!” Critical Role started as a group of “nerdy voice-actor friends playing a tabletop game,” and they held their first D&D livestream on March 12, 2015.
