Jeff Wayne's musical reimagining of The War of the Worlds is currently running at the Dominion, starring David Essex, Michael Praed, Jimmy Nail, Madalena Alberto and Heidi Range.
When Jeff Wayne decided to write a musical version of HG Wells's sci-fi classic The War of the Worlds, he could have had no idea that 40 years later his score would be performed in a West End theatre. It tells the tale of a journalist who witnesses the Martians' descent to earth - and their subsequent battle with humankind.
Jeff Wayne's musical version of THE WAR OF THE WORLDS began February 8 at the Dominion Theatre. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

7.30pm on May 7th (Election Night) & May 8th (Not Election Night!) at The Friends Meeting House see one of only two performances of Love Lies & Lyrics by Lesley Ross, an intimate portrayal of the life of a lyricist, as the man himself and his cast of West End singers takes you through twenty years of musical mayhem: song, stories and a sprinkling of sparkly drag!
Renowned lyricist Lesley Ross is celebrated in SimG Records latest album - Love, Lies & Lyrics. Featuring songs from several shows that Ross has contributed to with different composers, the recording gives us a variety of musical styles to enjoy. It is like putting your iPod on shuffle, not knowing what will come up next! Admittedly I don't tend to do this with the musical theatre recordings I have on my iPod because sometimes stand along numbers do not have the same effect out of context. However I don't really mind in this case as the storytelling within the songs are powerful enough to set the scene for you; credit to Ross' writing.
On Monday 11th May 2015, SimG Records, the leading independent British label devoted to new musical theatre writers and artists, is to release this exciting new 'songs of' album from the lyricist Lesley Ross.
