The Invasion Begins...

SUITS 8+ YEARS

RUNNING TIME:
Approximately 1.5 hrs

‘The War of the Worlds’ is being transformed into a live multimedia stage show at Auckland’s Stardome Observatory & Planetarium, opening 1 November 2012. Stardome has secured the rights to stage the musical version of ‘The War of the Worlds’ in the planetarium theatre. The production will feature a live cast of Auckland’s top actors, alongside spectacular projections, lighting and special effects.

This new show will be staged in a unique format combining projected planetarium images and live performance for the very first time. The show’s cast, which includes some of Auckland’s top musical theatre talent, will interact with characters and events projected onto the planetarium ceiling. Spectacular staging, sound and lighting effects, and incredible purpose made visuals will converge in the planetarium theatre. Martians will hover above the audience in their fighting machines, enveloping them in the middle of the commotion, while heat rays will be firing across their heads with smoke and special effects! Audience members will be enveloped in an unforgettable multi-dimensional experience.

‘The War of The Worlds’ is a true classic, acquiring new generations of devoted followers every year since its original release. Based on the 1898 novel by H G Wells and set in Victorian England, the story tells of a Martian invasion of Earth.

First released in 1978 Jeff Wayne’s musical version of ‘The War of the Worlds’ became an instant chart topper. To date it has sold approximately 15 million records around the world and has even been adapted into different languages. It has charted in more than 20 countries, spending over 330 weeks in the UK Album Charts (to date) plus achieving two international hit singles – 'Forever Autumn' and 'The Eve of The War'.
