Critical Role is back with great news! The live Dungeons & Dragons players are embarking on a world tour to celebrate the series’ 10th anniversary. In 2025, the tour will head to five different cities across the United States and Australia.
The crew will host live shows in Chicago, a suburb of Indianapolis, and New York in the US. In Australia, they will go to Sydney and Melbourne. Matthew Mercer, Ashley Johnson, Marisha Ray, Taliesin Jaffe, Travis Willingham, Sam Riegel, Laura Bailey, and Liam O’Brien from the founding cast will be present at the shows. AEG Presents and Australia Frontier Touring will be producing the tour.
All the US shows will remain as standalone events, whereas the two Australian shows will have a “loose narrative connection,” according to the company. The main campaign parties will cross paths in the Australia shows with separate but connected narratives.
All the shows in the Critical Role tour have a slightly different premise. The show in Indiana will be the first one-shot set in the world of Exandria using the Daggerheart game system. Chicago’s show will have the audience voting on “which original main campaign characters the founding members of Critical Role will play for the evening,” according to Critical Role’s website.
New York’s show will be a wedding between Fjord and Jester. Following the NYC show, the cast will attend New York Comic Con, where they’ll take part in fan signings, offer photo opportunities, and have a panel.
“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. Let alone during our tenth year of telling stories together — I couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate!,” said Marisha Ray, the co-founder and creative director of Critical Role, as quoted by Variety.
Members of Beacon, a streaming service with Critical Role-produced content, will receive early access to ticket purchases for the shows. Additionally, there are “Fan Experience” tickets that include a 45-minute preshow Q&A with the cast.
Before beginning the world tour, the Critical Role crew has a Christmas show on December 7 in Camden, New Jersey.
