Production
The cast's reaction towards the concept of a musical was mixed. While Iwan Rheon expressed surprise that few members turned up, Mark Addy and Diana Rigg denounced it as a terrible idea. Addy and Rheon were the only ones to show on the first day, but difficulties led to Addy leaving the set. That night, Kit Harington appeared, making him and Rheon the only actors present.

Harington called several cast members and persuaded them to participate by offering free food. Rose Leslie, Alfie Allen, Charlotte Hope, John Bradley-West and Thomas Brodie-Sangster turned up the next day, and Addy reconsidered his decision and returned.

News of the musical's success spread and Peter Dinklage, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Emilia Clarke also took part.
