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…
“Dazzling…I felt a shiver of excitement…” – Daily Telegraph
“Fabulous ****” – The Times
“Simply Epic!” – The Sun
“…Who could ask for more…” – Evening Standard
“…Thoroughly entertaining.” “Truly impressive” – BBC News
“Mind- Melting, Multi-Media Extravaganza” – The West Australian
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.
The album originally released in June 1978 features a ground-breaking blend of prog rock, electronic instrumentation and classical orchestration, as well as a spell-binding narration by Richard Burton and outstanding performances by some of the biggest artists of the 70s, including David Essex, Justin Hayward, Phil Lynott and Julie Covington.
The album has enjoyed huge success and critical acclaim across the globe with some 15 million records sold, spending over 330 weeks in the UK Album Chart (to date) plus achieving two International hit singles ‘The Eve of The War’ and ‘Forever Autumn’.
It has also won two prestigious UK Ivor Novello Awards, and the US Best Recording in Science Fiction and Fantasy – the judges having included Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. Additionally, n 2007, Jeff won Classic Rock’s ‘Showman of The Year’ Award.
