Well. This was an experience and a half.
I’ve been listening to Jeff Wayne’s “The War of the Worlds” since I was a kid, so when Jeff Wayne took his show on the road I decided that I just had to see it. It’s taken me a while, but finally I’ve managed to see the show, and just, wow. Incredible music. Incredible staging. Awesome on all fronts.
Interestingly, this is the second WOTW thing I’ve done this year. In January, I took my Mum to the WOTW immersive experience in London. This too was awesome, though totally different. There, we walked through Victorian London, caught up in the invasion, with Jeff Wayne’s music piped in throughout to maximise the experience.
It’s a shame that there isn’t more to do on this front, as this is truly timeless music.
Ooooooh Laaaaaaa!
