What I liked

How the dire wolves were handled. Great way to avoid using real animals and add comedy.

What I didn't like

The rushed and clumsy scene changes in between every scene.

My overall impression

It you are one of the many “Game of Thrones” fans, then this is the show for you. The musical for you in fact. The original songs by Laura Wiley, are clever and there are several exceptional voices in the cast. Megan Watt as Daenerys Targaryen, stops the show with her “Call Me Khaleesi.” The show is tongue in cheek and comments on all of the most outlandish moments of season one. The dialogue between numbers has a tendency to drag, and a few of the performances are a bit wooden, but overall this show delivers. “I’m King Now, Bitches” performed by Tony Cellucci as Joffrey is delightful, as is his beheading of Ned Stark. Cellucci somehow manages to be sadistic and adorable all at the same time. There’s also tap dancing (because why not?), but you’ll have to see the show to find out who. #SeeItLA
