JEFF WAYNE’S MUSICAL VERSION OF THE WAR OF THE WORLDS –
ALIVE ON STAGE

BIC WINDSOR HALL
Friday 10th & Saturday 11th December 2010

Back by phenomenal demand, Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of The Worlds - Alive on Stage! is set to return to major arena’s around the UK and Europe in 2010/2011.

Following the hugely successful and critically acclaimed sell-out arena tours in 2006, 2007 and 2009, singing and acting sensation Jason Donovan,  Atomic Kitten’s Liz McClarnon and Moody Blues’ Justin Hayward will star in the highly anticipated new production which will be invading  the UK and Europe from November 2010, through January 2011.

Jeff Wayne will once again be conducting the 10-piece Black Smoke Band and 36-piece ULLAdubULLA Strings.

Remaining cast members to be announced soon.

Jeff comments: “I’m most excited about Jason and Liz joining our newest production of The War of The Worlds - Alive on Stage! Having worked with them both in my studio, developing their roles, I know  they will bring  their own individual magic to the character of The Artilleryman, and Beth, the wife of Parson Nathaniel.

And it is also very special for me and all TWOTW team to know that Justin Hayward will once again be returning as The Sung Thoughts of The Journalist. Justin is a remarkable artist who is amongst the few, from any genre of music, who have spanned such a long and successful career both as lead singer with the Moody Blues and as a solo artist.”

UK fans and media alike have been astounded by the groundbreaking technology featured in   previous productions, including: 

•    An 11-foot high 3D photo-real floating hologram of Richard Burton, In Sight and Sound, as George Herbert, The Journalist
•    A 3-tonne, 35-foot tall Martian Fighting Machine firing Heat Rays at the audience and scanning them with its bug-like eyes
•    A 100-foot wide by 25 foot high screen projecting 2-hour CGI-animated movie in sync with the show and its live performances
•    Special Effects including from the world of Illusion, plus Pyrotechnics, leaf drops, and Flame Effects to heighten the audience’s interactive experience!
•    Music and sound effects mixed live in surround sound

The 2010-11 production is shaping up to be the most innovative and exciting yet, with a range of new ingredients, including an Ensemble of speciality performers who will add new dimension to the unfolding of HG Wells’ visionary story.

Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of The Worlds has grown into a true classic, garnering new generations of devoted followers, whilst inspiring the faithful listeners from the past decades. 

The War of The Worlds - Alive on Stage! 2010-2011 is a thrilling and entertaining multi-media extravaganza – one not to be missed!
