Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of The Worlds is a classic work based upon HG Wells’ dark Victorian tale, with music by Jeff Wayne and lyrics by Gary Osborne, Paul Vigrass and Jeff Wayne. 

On reading the novel, Jeff Wayne was inspired by the themes of Invasion, Faith and Hope and he began to create his Work in 1975. Since the day of its release, 9th June 1978, the double album has gone on to sell an astounding 16 million records and has enjoyed commercial and critical success worldwide.

Featuring two international hit singles, ‘The Eve of The War’ and ‘Forever Autumn’, the Musical Version has achieved prestigious accolades including two Ivor Novello Awards, US Best Recording in Science Fiction & Fantasy, judged by Alfred Hitchcock, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg and UK’s Classic Showman of The Year Award which Jeff won for the 2006 debut arena tour. 

Its extraordinary life has now spanned over forty years (and still counting!) across all media including records, publishing, video games, international arena tours, merchandise and now, the multi-sensory Jeff Wayne’s The War of The Worlds: The Immersive Experience.
