The musical recounts the first season of the show and utilizes characters such as Ned Stark, Khal Drogo and his Khaleesi, Daenerys.
It also features 13 entirely original songs about the characters and the beginning of the battle for the Iron Throne.
Initially, the musical debuted in Los Angeles, California, but then moved to San Diego where it enjoyed a sold out run.
The creative team producing the spoof musical is Steven Christopher Parker (director/writer/producer), Steven Brandon (writer/producer) and Erin Stegeman (music writer/director/producer).
The three of them have also produced parody musicals for TV shows like Lost and Once Upon a Time. This time around they are joined by Ace Marrero, who is a director and co-music producer.
The cast features Milo Shearer as Ned Stark, Mandie Hittleman as Daenerys Targaryen, Drew Boudreau as Tyrion Lannister, Ace Marrero as Khal Drogo, and Erin Stegeman as Cersei Lannister.
HBO, the Game of Thrones creative team, and George R.R. Martin are not involved with the musical in any way, as it is simply a parody homage to the series.
