SPIRIT OF MAN

TOUR, 2025

One of the most trailblazing arena tours of all time, Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of The Worlds (TWOTW) returns to UK arenas in 2025 with a musical spectacular like none other. Based on HG Wells’ dark Victorian tale, the production remains a favourite to millions around the world, exciting audiences of all ages.

I hope you will delve further into our website and learn more about the True Story of The Martian Invasion that is my musical version of… ‘The War of The Worlds’.

CAST ANNOUNCEMENT!

The War of The Worlds team are so thrilled to announce our first two cast members performing on The Spirit of Man Tour, 2025… For the first time in Martian history, a real-life couple will be performing as the married pair: Max George as Parson Nathaniel and Maisie Smith as Beth.

Jeff said: “Being a couple in real life will add to their on-stage charisma and chemistry. Maisie has such a melodic but powerful voice, which compliments Max’s dramatic and soulful vocals wonderfully."

THE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE EXTENDS FOR ANOTHER 2 YEARS

In June of this year, we announced that The War of The Worlds: The Immersive Experience would be relocating to a new London venue, however, soon after our announcement, we had the wonderful and unexpected opportunity to remain at Leadenhall Street for a further two years, which we couldn’t say ‘no’ to.

The licensing deal will not only see the experience remain at the original venue but also, as part of the evolving partnership, the production is receiving upgrades including new music sequences and sound design originated by Jeff Wayne, seamlessly integrated into new visual moments in the show. Originally planned for a 3-month run, here we are, almost five years later, and heading for seven. No one would have believed!

LIFE BEGINS AGAIN RELEASE

Jeff Wayne's The War of The Worlds is very proud to announce the release of 'Life Begins Again', a song for the times, performed by the cast of the 2022 arena tour:

Strictly Come Dancing's Kevin Clifton, Blue's Duncan James, Steps' Claire Richards, Inglorious' Nathan James, Stage & Screen's Anna-Marie Wayne and The Moody Blues' Justin Hayward.

But why a song for the times? Well, while the world has faced many challenges in recent years, commitment and faith remain at the heart of our chance for the future.

Life can, and will, begin again.
