Outstanding, 26 December 2006
10/10
Author: Paul Wakefield from Doncaster, England

Steven Spielberg missed his golden opportunity with Jeff Waynes superb soundtrack when he cast Tom Cruise in his version of War of the Worlds and many people were disappointed when none was incorporated.

So Jeff Waynes comes along to put together a stage version, I was unlucky not to get to see this earlier in 2006, but getting the DVD for Christmas made up for it.

If you liked the original album, well this is for you, near perfect stage reproduction with excellent graphics, outstrips Mr Cruise's film by actually basing the story in London as per the original book and not a made-for-the-states version,yet Mr Wayne is from America.

Top marks for a brilliant performance
