Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds

Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds tickets and regional UK dates

Jeff Wayne’s The War of The Worlds reaches UK theatres and concert halls in a concert presentation of his musical score. Presented by Kilimanjaro, the production brings together performers from the West End and other disciplines with a live band, orchestra and animation.

A different format from the arena tours

Jeff Wayne describes this tour as a deliberate step back from the spectacle of his arena productions, placing the music at the centre and supporting it with animation and other concert elements. Wayne will not be at the podium; performers are drawn from the West End and other major disciplines.

Wayne characterises the result as a companion to the arena tours rather than a replacement, presenting the double album in a setting where the score carries the evening, backed by a full live band and orchestra.
