The War of the Worlds Live On Stage

Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds, Live on Stage! is set to transform The Vector Arena Friday September 28. This staged musical and multimedia production of the classic HG Wells 1898 science fiction story, is indeed an once-in-a-lifetime epic extravaganza, nothing like this having hit these shores ever before.

This acclaimed musical event will feature Jeff Wayne conducting the 10-member Black Smoke Band, plus a 40-piece String Orchestra, live in a thrilling theatrical and multimedia spectacle. A brilliant cast, including, 23 years after his death, one of the world’s greatest actors, Richard Burton, at the helm “in sight and sound” as George Herbert, The Journalist.

Pink Floyd’s legendary set designer, Jonathan Park, brings the Martian invasion to life ON STAGE transporting the audience into our alien conquered world. Included in the massive production are ground-breaking special effects with a 30 foot Martian Fighting Machine firing Heat Rays at the audience, 100 foot wide screens showing cutting-edge CGI-animation and especially created filmed sequences.

This is truly a unique, stunning visual and aural spectacle. New Zealand could not ask for more as its first arena spectacular. Tickets on sale through Ticketmaster now.
