2007 Cult smash web series The Guild has been adapted into a musical by the show’s creator, Felicia Day.  A live staged reading of this new show will be streamed online via the LA-based online comedy club Dynasty Typewriter. The stream starts on the 23rd of February, 4pm LA time (that’s midnight in the UK).

The brand new original musical is about a group of online gamers and the “challenges they face when they try to meet up in… *gulp*… REAL LIFE.” The staged reading will feature songs as well; ironically, it’s sold out in person, so the only way you’ll be able to experience this historical moment is by going online.

Staged Readings are stripped-down versions of theatre productions with no sets or costumes. This is a rare chance to see the show before it is developed into something more elaborate. The show has been produced by Buffy The Vampire Slayer alumni Felicia Day and Tom Lenk, from the book by Allison Frasca, music by Mark Schenfisch, and lyrics by Sam Balzac.

The seven-person comedy show features Felicia Day reprising her role as Codex, Phil LaMarr as Vork, Kirsten Vangsness as Clara, Anjali Bhimani as Avinashi, Rama Vallury as Zaboo, Lauren Lopez as Tink and Joey Richter as Bladezz.

The musical is designed to be its own work, so don’t worry if you’ve never heard of The Guild or any of the cast; if you’re a STARBURST reader who’s ever played an online video game, then you’ll love this.

Online tickets can be found via Dynasty Typewriter here.
