The War of the Worlds is based on Wayne's 1978 concept album, and one feature of the production is an 11-foot high 3D hologram of Richard Burton (who voiced The Journalist on the original album) and a three-ton, 35-foot tall 'Martian Fighting Machine' which fires "heat rays at the audience" and scans them with bug like eyes.
Jeff Wayne will conduct the 10-piece Black Smoke Band & 36-piece ULLAdubULLA Strings and there will be a 100-foot wide by 25 foot high screen projecting a new 2-hour CGI-animated movie in perfect sync with the performances. Special Effects include Illusion, Pyrotechnics, Leaf Drops, and Flame Effects with music and sound effects mixed live in surround sound
Jason Donovan will play the role of The Artilleryman who is a fantasist who dreams of producing a new race of humans underground after the aliens attack. Rhydian Roberts is playing Parson Nathaniel which is the role previously played by Russell Watson and Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott. Liz McClarnon will play Beth, the Parson's wife.
