The musical spectacular is a new interpretation of Jeff Wayne's 1978 concept album which tells the classic story of 'The War of the Worlds' by HG Wells. The arena show, which will feature CGI graphics, a live orchestra and performers will also include narration from superstar actor, Liam Neeson, who will also feature on the specially created 100-foot wide 'Animation Wall'.
As well as appearing on screen, Liam will feature in the show as an 11-foot high holographic head and shoulders. Even more spectacularly, he will be recreated as a full body holographic which will interact with performers in the show; this is the first time this has ever been seen within live entertainment in the world.
Jeff Wayne comments, "After long consideration, I concluded that for future productions, some of HG Wells' storylines and characters should be re-explored. But once again, I have been fortunate, and have attracted Liam Neeson to these New Generation interpretations. He has, so-to-speak, been handed the 'baton' from Richard Burton, and I believe audiences and listeners alike will find Liam's interpretation no less compelling."
