Check out her and Troy Baker’s version of Wayfaring Stranger in character as Joel and Ellie, that shit is astounding. Her cover of House of the Rising Sun fucks too
Timestamps for musical performances: 6:23 - Adrift (Part One) - Laura Bailey 24:00 - Challenging a Queen - Laura Bailey & Mary Elizabeth McGlynn 33:18 - Challenging a Queen (if different choices were made) - Laura Bailey & Mary Elizabeth McGlynn 52:30 - Adrift (Part Two) - Laura Bailey & Ashley Johnson
12:29 Janina Gavankar really said “being in love with Laura Bailey? Easy” and I respect her for that. If I wasn’t planing on romancing Freddie on my first run through that description of their relationship for sure sold me
@@jackiecozzie4803 well there's a few months till the game comes out, I'm sure we'll find out more (personally I'm excited to hear more about Hermes cuz I'm a big fan of Erika Ishii)
@@Ollie_668 omg yes, tbh I'm excited for every character I can't wait (but I'd say I'm most interested in Pan and Medusa). Also idk if you knew but there's a playable demo from the 4-8th of May for ludonarracon
As a melbournian gamer, as a fan of critical role, as a backer, as a geek, I'm so excited, you are all doing incredible work, holy shit, I can't wait for this shit to pop off.
I'm going to play the shit of the this game when it comes out and I love everyone here, but it can't be understated how funny it is to vaguely hear Travis in the background hyping everyone and dying laughing.
Dang the talent is unbelievable. You watch these guys in actual play streams and forget just how multi-talented they all are. Also, Janina and Anjali!! I'm so excited to see more South Asians doing this kinda stuff, the little brown girl inside of me with imposter syndrome in nerd/theatre spaces is squeaaaaling The shorts are keeping my pumped for the release, can't want to see more content!!
it's especially awesome to see so much diversity when it's very easy for some media to use greek mythology as an excuse for every character to be white because "they're all greek"
@@jackiecozzie4803Very much depends on what you're going for. If you are representing the Greek Gods as they are typically depicted then you have no other choice than to go with an all white cast. But they found an interesting way to explain the diversity. It's not an excuse, it's jsut cultural accuracy. If that doesn't matter anymore we end up in wokeland.
These songs are so perfectly Hadestown vibes which is perfect because the art is perfect Hades vibes and those are 2 of my favourite things in their respective genre (+both Greek myth related)
I was just thinking that. I would love to see the people the music and song writers who did the game Hades and Stray Dogs work together to do a musical
In case anyone else was curious how to get the 2nd version they perform of Challenging A Queen in game - pick Blue Red Blue Red. In game the song actually goes another verse past the live performance so you'll have one more choice to pick how to end it, my personal fave is ending on Red.
Do you have any idea how to get the ending of the 1st version? I feel crazy lol, I've tried a lot and I'm questioning if they took that one out of the game
@@spaghettikat1964 From what I can tell that version doesn't exist in game as performed here. The first four verses they do in the performance are Green Green Red Green in game, but none of the 5th choices for that will lead to the ending they perform. To get that specific ending, you have to have Grace with the Charming / green trait, and then pick Green Green Blue Blue Green (there's probably other combos that work but that one should work for sure).
Kinda funny that Troy called Mary Elizabeth McGlynn "inimitable" given the fact that she has an identical twin. .....I've gotten waaayyyy too deep into voice actor trivia....
I mean, you fully had me at anything with Laura Bailey -- she could start her own legit pantheon -- but how cool the story is based in greek mythology and a musical!
Amazing. So keen on the game concept. I feel like something that would be amazing would be once you've finished game, the ability to listen to the soundtrack of all your decisions - and even listen to soundtracks created by your friends.
apparently they're planning on releasing a soundtrack album but I have absolutely no idea how, since there's millions of permutations. Still, I hope the game will have some kind of feature where we can look back on the songs from all of our runs
@@Kris-wo4pj I think Austin said he didn't want to pick one, so as not to create the impression that there's a "canon" route. The data farming could be the case but I think they want to release it at a similar time to the game's release
Ahw to see Laura go from someone who got nervous singing in front of Travis in just a studio to performing in front of an entire audience (and Travis!!!) is just ❤❤❤
This is one of those videos I am going to have in the background and obsess over for the next few months until the game comes out, right? Sigh, here we go, downloading to my phone rn
Thank you for uploading this! I've been excited for this game since the original campaign, and was sad that the stream wasn't friendly to my time zone, so I look forward to watching the whole thing!
This video made me change my mind form "sceptical" to "cautiously optimistic". I've been following this project since their first anouncements, and I know that their team is absolutely great and talented, but what they're going for is really ambitious. Good musical is so much more than a sum of voices and lyrics. I'd rather not set my expectations too high (just yet), better be surprised then disappointed, I guess. Looking forward to actually buy and play the game.
My friend and I are absolutely excited for this game. We found the Kickstarter randomly and both of us have watched it go from one name to another and we are obsessed and ready to play this game.
Everyone was amazing, but Mary Elizabeth just crushed it!! Goosebumps. Troy Baker seemed a bit off as a Host, but you could tell he was trying. Between a specially cold audience (they really didn't give him a chance, stone cold!) and some weird bits it just didn't connect. Something to do with having to step in last minute most probably. Austin Wintory on the other hand was a delight to listen to. You can tell the pasion he is puting into this and that he is one of those few talented developers with something new to bring to the table. I wished he carried the whole show. Watching Laura performing with Ashley and connecting with the rest of the cast was lovely. I just hope there can be a proper Q&A (this seemed rushed and improvised) with the cast down the road, would love to hear more from them. First time I heard from this project and already loving it. I feel this should have a lot more exposure! I know and love from other stuff most of the cast and heard of this just now in an Easy Allies Podcast. You guys need a bit more PR this is an amazing looking project. Hope you get the attention you rightfully deserve!
@@acuity1980 it's honestly so sad because this game has me obsessed and it really needs more attention. Idk why they haven't mentioned it on critical role (except for hosting the stream) Considering it has Laura, Ashley, Felicia, Anjali, Troy etc. etc.
I can't wait till August to see the game! It's like everything I've ever wanted from a game (although I've never thought I wanted a musical-rpg before!) And Laura singing, my god, she is just incredible, such a talented actress 💖 And Mary Elizabeth, ohhhh, too hot 🔥🔥🔥
So you showed the possible gameplay ahhh such a clever way of promoting this . I need a device that steams so I can buy this I’m so happy for you guys so so happy.
I'm saving my watching this til after I play the game cuz I want to experience the songs in the game first. But this looks like it was a lot of fun, will come back to watch later!
@@secretsalute Bidet fellow Critter! Stream actually hasn't been live in quite awhile. They're ahead by at least a week, possibly two based on social media posts like when Laura dyed her hair purple. That said, I don't actually know if this event was specifically why she lost her voice.
man rough watch. i know they're friends but yelling at laura to get him a drink? bringing up that he's drunk and needs more drinks? the other people joking that someone needs to get him a drink? on top of the fact that no one gave him a schedule for the night that he had to ask everyone else what's supposed to happen. "that's when you clap" yikes
Holy shit Ashley Johnson has a beautiful singing voice!
Fun fact, they had to teach her to sing worse cause she sounded too good for her performance as Ellie in Part 2 of TLOU according to Neil Druckmann
Check out her and Troy Baker’s version of Wayfaring Stranger in character as Joel and Ellie, that shit is astounding. Her cover of House of the Rising Sun fucks too
Timestamps for musical performances:
6:23 - Adrift (Part One) - Laura Bailey

33:18 - Challenging a Queen (if different choices were made) - Laura Bailey & Mary Elizabeth McGlynn
52:30 - Adrift (Part Two) - Laura Bailey & Ashley Johnson
I love how different the 2 versions of Challenging a queen were!
Appreciated!
12:29 Janina Gavankar really said “being in love with Laura Bailey? Easy” and I respect her for that. If I wasn’t planing on romancing Freddie on my first run through that description of their relationship for sure sold me
she's also prob my top pick, but I wish we'd heard more about Pan because I feel like he's the romance option we know the least about

@@jackiecozzie4803 yap I heard about it, hope I'll have a chance to play it
I didn't want to go with Freddie because she seems like the obvious choice from the getgo.
The way Ashley looks at Laura is so freaking sweet- I love their friendship
Ok the "challenging the queen" actually envoked a lot of emotion out me. .that really caught me ofd guard. Just wow.
you can hear Travis in the background I think it is really funny
Props to laura, pretty sure this was around when she had just recovered from losing her voice.
I know, considering that despite that this performance was all-around pretty stellar the actual game must sound stunning
As a melbournian gamer, as a fan of critical role, as a backer, as a geek, I'm so excited, you are all doing incredible work, holy shit, I can't wait for this shit to pop off.

This is what everyone secretly wanted in the entertainment industry.
People love to hate on Hollywood, but they forget that people like these are also part of it.
Now I know where those video tweets of Laura Bailey and Ashley Johnson singing on stage came from.
I literally came here for Laura Bailey! She's so precious and a bit of a trickster, as many of you already know. She's just magnificent and magnetic.
THE Ashley Johnson and Laura Bailey let's freaking GOOOO
When I think the kickstarter almost didn´t made it... I wish you all the success you deserve, people!
These songs are so perfectly Hadestown vibes which is perfect because the art is perfect Hades vibes and those are 2 of my favourite things in their respective genre (+both Greek myth related)
I was just thinking that. I would love to see the people the music and song writers who did the game Hades and Stray Dogs work together to do a musical
Travis Willingham going "You're better than Jesse!" made me smile. I love that man
I love how easily distiguishable his voice is in the crowd. I went like " Travis is also there?! Oh of course he's there.".
Do you have a timestamp? Cant find it...

In the second Challenging a Queen they start off with the blue choice but the lighting is green!
I mean, you fully had me at anything with Laura Bailey -- she could start her own legit pantheon -- but how cool the story is based in greek mythology and a musical!
I'm obsessed with Laura's performance in this game- she is phenomenal.
Persephone's character kinda hit me hard there, I'm at an age where I've experienced loss more than once.
This game is delightful! Best experience I've had this year. Loved every bit of it. If you ever do a sequel. Count me in!

luckily a demo tomorrow be out with 2 new songs

As a original backer of the game this has made me even more hyped for this game 🙂
Wow, just wow, the 38 min song, it just HITS

yeah I haven't seen nearly enough people raving about this game especially given the all Star cast. I for one am crazy hyped tho!
I also only heard about this from Blood in the podcast. Strange that there wasn't more PR.
@@acuity1980 it's honestly so sad because this game has me obsessed and it really needs more attention. Idk why they haven't mentioned it on critical role (except for hosting the stream) Considering it has Laura, Ashley, Felicia, Anjali, Troy etc. etc.

GOOSEBUMPS!
Ah so heck'n glad you are posting this, thank you!
I can't wait till August to see the game! It's like everything I've ever wanted from a game (although I've never thought I wanted a musical-rpg before!)
And Laura singing, my god, she is just incredible, such a talented actress 💖

THIS IS WHAT I THOUGHT like this is my perfect game and it's not even something I would've considered
can play the demo on steam between may 4-8
@@Kris-wo4pj ohhh that's great news, thanks!
I'm speechless
Haven't been this excited for a game in a LONG time!!!
Yes!!! I was able to watch live (twitch) halfway through it, but couldn't stay. Now I can finish it thank you!
Excellent. Everything about this is excellent. Glad I backed this waaaay back at the start.
Yeah!! Loving it, seeing the choices makes sense now... I couldn't figure out how it was going to stay in a flowing song!
Awesome! I backed the kickstarter and couldn't watch the live stream. Everyone was sooooo good! Can't wait for this game 😄
I'm always happy for another story about gods in the modern day. Can't friggin wait
So you showed the possible gameplay ahhh such a clever way of promoting this . I need a device that steams so I can buy this I’m so happy for you guys so so happy.
Travis is so loud I love it
I am so sad because I used to like in Pasadena and I think I moved 10 days before this and didn't know the game existed. I would have loved to be here
I'm so excited for this. Absolutely adore like all these voice actors.
Thanks for uploading this!!!!
Also, is there any news for getting Stray Gods on consoles? It’d be awesome🙏
I'm saving my watching this til after I play the game cuz I want to experience the songs in the game first.
But this looks like it was a lot of fun, will come back to watch later!
From what I understand the songs have so many permutations idk if you can listen to them all
@@EsquilaxM I still think it's fair to want to wait since they'll still see some version of all of these songs
Damn! You're saying we missed out on some Jesse Cox with Felicia Day?! Goddamnit!
Nice 🎉
Casually listening to 26:34 a thousand more times
Edit: Also 36:50 goddamn
What is the piano piece at the beginning called? It’s beautiful
It was me improvising, based on the main theme of the game (which is the basis of the song "Adrift" which we played at the start and end of this)
@@awintory great job on it!
I *thought* this game had good voice acting, turns out there's a good reason for that quality :P I genuinely cannot wait for this game
They used ALL their resources for an outstanding cast, and it paid off.
How many times does Felicia have to provide the correct word for a group of gods?
Make it as a real Musical
Laura is hot, can do tons of voices, has a great husband, great friends, AND can sing. Proof that life is not fair
Or it is, cause maybe we don't all get what we deserve but it is beautiful to see sometimes it does happen ❤
Tripod worked on this?? That was a very unexpected name.
RAHUL!
Did Felicia Day develop a lisp?
Is this why laura lost her voice?
She lost her voice prior to this since the stream was live. She got it back just in time!
