There’s simply no show on Planet Earth (or Mars!) that has the spectacular effects of The War of The Worlds – Alive on Stage!
It’s one of the most trailblazing arena tours of all time. Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War Of The Worlds returns to UK arenas in 2022.
Based on HG Wells’ dark Victorian tale, the production remains a favourite to millions around the world. To this day its still is exciting for audiences of all ages.
In 2006, TWOTW was already considered a cutting-edge production with six trucks filled to the brim. By 2022, which marks 16 years of live touring, the production will be up to 12 trucks. As well as a host of ingredients and special effects to challenge and excite the senses.
What’s new
Some of the new updates and additions include a giant arched bridge running from the lip of the stage out over the audience. As well as three panoramic screens with two hours of cutting-edge CGI. Not to mention the incineration of a cast member in full view of the audience.
There will also be surround sound, lighting, pyrotechnics and otherworldly special effects – plus a ground-breaking levitation effect, the release of deadly black smoke from the Martian Fighting Machine and The War Of The Worlds’ author himself, HG Wells, appearing in sight and sound.
