Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of The Worlds – Alive on Stage! is set to come to Dublin and Belfast in November 2010. By popular demand, it will also return to major arenas around the UK and Europe in 2010-11.

The new production is shaping up to be the most innovative and exciting yet, with a range of new ingredients, including an ensemble of speciality performers who will add new dimension to the unfolding of HG Wells’ visionary story.

Jeff Wayne will once again be conducting the 10-piece Black Smoke Band and 36-piece ULLAdubULLA Strings. The show will star Australian actor and singer Jason Donovan as The Artilleryman and Moody Blues Justin Hayward will be reprising his role as The Sung Thoughts of The Journalist. Remaining cast members will be announced soon.
