In 2015, eight people who played Dungeons and Dragons together in their free time decided to start broadcasting their game live on the streaming platform Twitch.

Ten years later, Critical Role and Nerdworld are taking their show on a multi-city tour.

CR had already played sold-out concerts before the COVID-19 pandemic, where they played out their “D&D” campaign in front of a live audience. They filled London’s Wembley Arena in 2023 and then performed two more live shows in Los Angeles.

Between April and October, CR’s main cast will visit five cities – Chicago, Fishers (near Indianapolis), Sydney, Melbourne and New York.

“Embarking on a global journey to bring Critical Role to the stage in brand new cities with our diverse group of adventurers is nothing short of a dream,” said Marisha Ray, co-founder and creative director of Critical Role. “Not to mention, we’ve been telling stories together for 10 years. I couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate this occasion.”

Each live performance will have a slightly different format.

Viewers will vote during a live show in Chicago on April 10 to decide which of the original characters from the main campaign will be played by the CR team.

The live shows in Australia – June 19 in Sydney and June 25 in Melbourne – will feature live events featuring characters from two CR campaigns joining forces to fight a common enemy.

The live show in Indianapolis on August 2 will feature CR’s tabletop role-playing game “Daggerheart”, which the team is launching in 2025. This is slated to be CR’s second big live performance of “Daggerheart” – they’re building momentum with the launch of an official play-by-play Christmas live show in New Jersey this year. Notably, the CR team is doing this during Gen Con weekend in Indianapolis, a convention that has been held there for two decades.

The final stop in New York will be October 7 at the historic Radio City Music Hall. This show will be a highly anticipated event for the fandom – the wedding of Fjord Stone and Jester Lavorre, two characters from CR’s second D&D campaign. . That campaign is now evolving into “Mighty Nein,” the team’s next Amazon show.

During the show’s New York weekend, the eight co-founders will also be at New York Comic Con to speak on a panel, sign autographs and pose for photos.

Detailed information on how to purchase tickets is already available on the CR website.

This stack of anniversary live shows is also happening while other Nerdworld companies expand beyond their home countries and fill large arenas in the US. In January, CR’s Dimension 20 co-stars will play Madison Square Garden for a show hosted by their resident master of ceremonies, Brennan Lee Mulligan.

For their part, Dimension 20 are also going on tour. They will perform June 1 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, July 2025 at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle and November 1 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. D20 tickets go on sale October 25th.

Meanwhile, Critical Role fans who don’t see their city on the list this year don’t have to despair, as CEO Travis Willingham and the rest of the cast have an international list of places they’d like to visit. CR maintains a “large list” of potential locations and has added places such as South America and Singapore, Willingham said.

“We’re going to have a big old party,” Willingham told BI. “Tell us where we eat and drink, we’ll drop it.”

“We all know how important stories—and other people’s stories—are to us personally,” CR co-founder Liam O’Brien told BI. “So to know that we’re in a position where we’ve created history together that now has such value to people all over the planet is just such a gift and my mind blows every day.”
