New show OUT OF THIS WORLD Watch this space – because the world premiere of a new musical is set to land at the Dominion Theatre, and it’s like nothing else on earth. The War of the Worlds (from 8 Feb; p. 56) is based on HG Wells’ 1898 story of the same name about a Martian invasion. The composer Jeff Wayne (above) adapted the science-fiction story into a score in 1976, which spawned a hit double album. As well as new music, the show will feature the book’s iconic Martianfighting machine. It will be brought to life by special effects such as a 3D holograph of The Journalist – the narrator of the alien invasion – who is played by Liam Neeson.
