Live actors and detailed sets make you feel like it’s really happening and you’re part of the story.
You’ll meet a cast of 17 characters played by 12 live actors and a mix of holograms, projections and virtual reality featuring West End star Carrie Hope Fletcher (Cinderella, Heathers, Les Miserables, Jeff Wayne’s The War of The Worlds Arena Tours) as Beth, The Parson’s Wife, Tom Brittney (Grantchester, Make Me Famous) as George Herbert, The Journalist and Anna-Marie Wayne (The War of The World’s Alive on Stage!) as Carrie, The Journalist’s Wife.
The actors really made this an immersive experience. The tech used was really clever but the sets and the actors really sold the story and gave some genuinely creepy moments.
Step into one of the biggest selling records of all time: Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds.
You’ll experience 9 tracks from the iconic 1978 double album brought to life, including classic hits ‘The Eve of the War’ and ‘Forever Autumn’.
Jeff Wayne created brand new sound design and music for this unique event, and has been integral to the production. Every element has been approved by him!
Astonishingly good. The whole experience is absolutely a must see whether you’re a fan of the album (like me) or not”
