Im Going to see War of the Worlds Live!!!
One of my little known guilty pleasures is Jeff Waynes Musical version of HG Wells War of the Worlds. I really dont know why I love it so much, as I normally hate musicals, but this one hooked me somehow.
Anyway, they are doing another live tour next year and I’ve managed to get some tickets!
The reason im so excited about it is because its not just a stuffy orchestra playing the same songs as on the album. The live show features 2 orchestras, a classical orchestra (strings, wind, brass etc) and a modern band featuring drums, electric guitars keyboards and so on. The show also uses the latest technology in the form of huge holograms, massive screens showing projected CG images of the Martians etc; and at one point the lower a 50 foot martian fighting machine down onto the stage!
To get a better idea, head of to the Official Website and check out the pictures and videos from the previous tours.
