(male narrator)
In an exclusive Red Nose Day revelation,

00:00:58.899 --> 00:01:01.631
we've discovered that
the British band Cold Play

00:01:01.631 --> 00:01:06.700
are secretly working on a musical of TV
sensation, Game of Thrones.

00:01:06.700 --> 00:01:08.896
This is the best idea we've ever had.

00:01:08.896 --> 00:01:10.747

- Babadums.

00:01:19.593 --> 00:01:22.070
(narrator)
The band had been long-time fans of the show.

00:01:22.070 --> 00:01:25.317
and bearded drummer Will Champion actually
took time off at one point

00:01:25.317 --> 00:01:28.447
to act in the famous Red Wedding episode.

00:01:28.447 --> 00:01:29.917
(bell dings repeatedly)

00:01:29.917 --> 00:01:33.226
They've gathered in the Henson
recording studio in Los Angeles

00:01:33.226 --> 00:01:38.206
to work up the 16 songs required for a 
full Broadway stage production.

00:01:38.206 --> 00:01:40.617
(keyboard)

00:01:40.617 --> 00:01:43.198

00:01:48.609 --> 00:01:51.390
Well, when I first heard about it I was 
a little bit skeptical,

00:01:51.390 --> 00:01:54.021
but now I'm completely convinced:

00:01:54.021 --> 00:01:56.787
it's a horrible idea.

00:02:06.361 --> 00:02:08.982
One word that springs to mind when 
I'm thinking about this project

00:02:08.982 --> 00:02:12.964
is "Titanic." But not in terms of the 
successful movie --

00:02:12.964 --> 00:02:15.790
in terms of the unsuccessful boat.

Finally, after months of writing and planning,

00:02:28.051 --> 00:02:31.905
Chris has invited along the entire cast
of Game of Thrones,

00:02:31.905 --> 00:02:34.663
to recruit them into 
the live Broadway show.

00:02:34.663 --> 00:02:36.243
Fellows, how ya doin'?

00:02:36.243 --> 00:02:38.400
I had a moment of inspiration, it was 
a flash of genius --

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.158
get the whole cast to come in.

00:02:40.158 --> 00:02:42.127
Everyone thought it was a brilliant idea,

00:02:42.127 --> 00:02:45.285
so that's what's happening.
It's a big day, big day for us.

Well, not all of them.

00:02:52.706 --> 00:02:55.547

00:02:55.547 --> 00:02:57.716
I was told Sean Bean was gonna be here.

00:02:57.716 --> 00:03:00.271
He owes me a fiver.

00:03:00.271 --> 00:03:02.689
Well, no, I don't think there's
quite as many of us

00:03:02.689 --> 00:03:05.742
as the band would have hoped, but ...

00:03:05.742 --> 00:03:07.940

Stunning. Stunning. 
People are literally stunned.
