Step into a real Martian invasion
For nearly two hours, you'll escape into a steam punk Victorian England during the 1898 Martian invasion, all set to Jeff Wayne's iconic 1978 double-platinum album, which sold over 16 million records worldwide, and was remixed exclusively for this production.
Follow George Herbert, The Journalist, and his fiancée Carrie through:
- Holographic encounters and abandoned Victorian houses
- A heart-pounding VR boat ride down the Thames as 300-foot Martian Fighting Machines attack Westminster and Big Ben
- The trenches to London and slide down the claw of a Martian Handling Machine
- An epic journey to Mars in a hot air balloon
- The climactic naval battle between HMS Thunder Child versus the Martians
- An exclusive intermission in the secret Red Weed Bar
This isn't just theatre. It's live actors, movie-quality sets, virtual reality, cutting-edge tech, and multi-sensory effects woven together into something you've never experienced before.
