"It's a fast-paced, 80-minute show that does the first four seasons of The Crown," says Murphy. "We play all of the characters through a series of hats, wigs, and quick changes."

You don't have to be a fan of the Netflix show to enjoy this royal comedy.

"We'll catch you up if you haven't watched The Crown, save you a lot of time, and you just need 80 minutes and we'll catch you up to season five," says Arends.

"The Crown – Live!" is playing through November 20th at the Garner Galleria Theatre. Tickets are available now.
