Here's an audio edit of The Spirit of Man sung by newly announced Max George as the Parson & Maisie Smith as Beth ➡️ rb.gy/sz6x9s

Max & Maisie came to Jeff's studio to try out some of the material & here's the result! We think they sound out of this world! 🌎👽

We are so thrilled to announce that Max George will be performing as Parson Nathaniel and Maisie Smith will be Beth in The War of The Worlds: The Spirit of Man Tour, 2025.

On Monday, the news will strike of our first 2 cast members for 2025's TWOTW tour.
Location: The Good Morning Britain sofa!
Who will be Parson Nathaniel and Beth?
Here’s a clue: they might be meeting the Martians for the first time, but the pair certainly aren’t strangers…

Today marks exactly 1 year until the first show of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds - The Spirit of Man Tour in 2025 - with the Martians first landing for battle in Hull!

Will you be joining Humanity to take on those pesky Martians?

ULLA!!! 👽

#ThrowbackThursday

Great interview with Jeff in Eighth Day Magazine. Check out the full story in the April issue which is out now. 👽

Happy #InternationalWomensDay ! One of many amazing women who have contributed to TWOTW over the years was Doreen Wayne- my father Jerry's second wife, and my step-mum. She adapted the HG Wells' novel, creating the TWOTW script & shaping the Musical Version we know today.

Happy World Book Day UK 📚!

It all started with a book! Jeff Wayne recounts how reading HG Wells’ The War of The Worlds inspired him to compose his award-winning Musical Version.

TheWarofTheWorlds Being 21 now, I remember as a child going up north and we had TWOTW playing on the drive, years later I’d go see it live in Nottingham for the 40th anniversary, I still regard it as the best interpretation of the original book

TheWarofTheWorlds I was 9 when I first listened to this, borrowing my brothers record. Sister in her bedroom, me with headphones on, lights off on my own.

Had this quite loud and it scared me at first, especially the Ulla cry. But I loved it from that moment and always will..

Lovely speaking with you today, Jamie!
