WATCH: Coldplay Creates Game of Thrones Musical
Not really, but it was a special for Red Nose Day. And it’s hilarious.
The score for Game of Thrones is one of the parts of the show that makes the entire experience feel so epic. Whenever the opening theme plays, countless ears perk up and people brace themselves for what is sure to be another hour of mental and emotional torture. Chris Martin, the front man for Coldplay, decided to channel all of the show's intensity into a stage musical.
Liam Neeson narrates the documentary-style behind the scenes look at the production where, after a rocky start, Out June/July Hot List cover boy Kit Harrington stepped in to help save the sinking ship. Once the cast learned that Jon Snow was on board they rallied behind the band and put their all into perfecting songs such as "Wildling," "Rastafarian Targaryen," and "You Don't Mess Around with Walder Frey." With GoT being as big a hit as it is, it's not surprise that many of the actors have incorporated parts of their characters into their personality. Hint: Don't tell Jon Snow he's flat when Ygritte is in the room.
(Ignore the fact that he winks with both eyes.)
