During a groundbreaking New York engagement, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS The Twenty-Sided Tavern received rave reviews. Variety noted, “a cacophony of huzzahs from the crowd, for the nail-biting and thrilling Twenty-Sided Tavern!” The Nerdist stated that DUNGEONS & DRAGONS The Twenty-Sided Tavern is, “RIP-ROARINGLY FUNNY.” Rolling Stone called it, “a show that weaves the UNPREDICTABILITY of improv and the game itself into a feat of controlled chaos.”
“Launching the D&D Tavern in New York has been an amazing journey, and I am thrilled with all of the friends we have made along the way – but every day we also receive emails from people all over the country asking us to come to their city, ” said Executive Producer and Co-Creator David Carpenter. “It’s now time for us to pack up our dice and give our nationwide fans what they have been asking for. Running over a year off-Broadway has been a dream come true and has set us up for huge success nationwide.”
