Collider Ladies Night is taking its celebrated interview series to the stage for a special live edition, and the guests are none other than the powerhouse women of Critical Role. On Monday, June 22, Perri Nemiroff will host an exclusive conversation with Ashley Johnson, Laura Bailey, and Marisha Ray at the Dynasty Typewriter Theater in Los Angeles. The event promises a wide-ranging Q&A that fans of The Legend of Vox Machina and The Mighty Nein won't want to miss.
Critical Role's Journey from Tabletop to Streaming Sensation
What started in 2017 as a group of voice actors sharing their Dungeons & Dragons campaign with the world has exploded into a multimedia empire. Guided by Game Master Matthew Mercer, the cast—including Johnson, Ray, Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Travis Willingham, Sam Riegel, and Liam O'Brien—brought the ragtag heroes of Vox Machina to life through livestreamed tabletop roleplaying. The show, known as Critical Role, quickly became a phenomenon, drawing millions of viewers into the fantastical world of Exandria.
The success of the livestream led to an animated adaptation, The Legend of Vox Machina, which premiered on Prime Video and introduced the story to an even broader audience. With Season 4 dropping on June 3, the timing of this live event couldn't be better. In fall 2025, between Seasons 3 and 4, Critical Role also released The Mighty Nein, based on their second campaign and featuring a new band of fledgling adventurers.
What to Expect at Collider Ladies Night Live
Doors open at 6:15 pm, and the show kicks off at 7:00 pm sharp. Tickets are just $20 online or $25 at the door if any remain. Given the star power and the passionate fanbase, early purchase is strongly recommended. The evening will feature Bailey (voice of Vex and Jester), Johnson (voice of Pike and Yasha), and Ray (voice of Keyleth and Beauregard) in an intimate, moderated discussion about their careers, the evolution of Critical Role, and what's next for their characters.
