JEFF WAYNE'S THE WAR OF THE WORLDS: THE NEW GENERATION - ALIVE ON STAGE
Based on HG Wells’ classic science fiction story and one of the most successful stage shows of recent times, Jeff Wayne's The War of The Worlds:The New Generation - Alive on Stage is going on a UK arena tour again at the end of next year. A new double album is due to be released next summer.
Liam Neeson will now replace Richard Burton appearing in 3D holography as the story's narrator journalist George Herbert. He will lead a new all star cast which will be announced in the New Year. Neeson will appear in three ways during the show: as an 11-foot high hologram; within CGI sequences on a 100-foot animation wall and as a full body interacting holographically with the show’s live performers. Neeson who has starred in films including Schindler’s List, Star Wars and Love Actually said he was “flattered” to be inheriting the role from Burton.
Some of the many special effects in the show include a 35-foot tall Martian Fighting Machine which fires heat rays at the audience and scans them with bug like eyes plus
Illusion, Pyrotechnics, Leaf Drops and Flame Effects with music and sound effects mixed live in surround sound
