Got my tickets :)

got the new album for Christmas, waaaaay better than i thought it would be :D

[@AdhamOhm]

Before Spielberg's film premiered, I had a thought that Liam Neeson would be perfect for the role of the narrator had they done a proper film that takes place in the 1800s. Such a coincidence that Jeff Wayne felt the same way!

[@randyc8406]

Part of me is in agony, wishing Liam had played this role, from the beginning. Then, the other part has to speak up and remind me, that if he had, he wouldn’t have all the great films he’s done, in that time!

[@7013032]

I got mine for January 2013!

[@Lurker1979]

I hope they add US locations.

[@alucard624]

That would be nice, especially with Liam Neeson now playing the role of the Journalist. I just wish the original stage show had come to the US. Still don't understand why that never happened.

[@randyc8406]

Probably thought it would conflict with stuff Hollywood or Broadway were doing. Or, maybe Jeff tried, but US companies wanted more than Jeff wanted to pay. It evidently wasn’t played, when Jeff first released it, which was major stupidity, considering how popular Billy Thorpe’s “Children of the Sun” was, around that same time!

Got tickets for December!

[@drshoggothshow]

Pretty sure the poster you're replying to meant US locations for the tour.

[@theshadow100]

I got the original story from radio show years ago

[@rprince418]

If they changed the location to, lets say New York, the song would need to be called Dead New York. I see where he is getting, but it would be neat to see how us Americans fared during the invasion.

[@martyrobbins5241]

Id guess terribly

[@litteralyjustsam5262]

I really hope Jeff Wayne never does that, since it would stray quite far from the original book.

@@litteralyjustsam5262 I'm like 90% certain I was responding to somebody. Older comments like this have a tendency to get unlinked from the comment I responded to, for some reason. That's why it looks weird. lol

[@litteralyjustsam5262]

@@rprince418 ah alright lol. I've noticed that on wotw videos a lot of the old comment threads are suddenly all randomised and not in a threat but individual comments. It's weird

[@XenaPeel]

When will this come to Seattle?

[@rock-ctherockstarclown1465]

Agreed, though I am trying to figure out legalities and licensing for a fan production at either Victory Studios or Rainier Center for the Arts. I need musicians and a couple of parts filled if you or anyone you know are interested. (So far the only legality figured out is neither I nor anyone involved can make money off of it unfortunately.)

[@rock-ctherockstarclown1465]

Love Jeff Wayne, but does he not know about Hatsune Miku? The technology they're using ("Holoscrim" or reear-projection holography) has been around since at least 2009 or earlier.

[@grohlbabe]

Need to get a movie version. My dream cast. Narrator Morgan Freeman. The journalist Ramin Kamiloo ( hope thats how spelt). Artilleryman Matt Cardle. Pastor Nathaniel Alfie Boe...Beth Nicole Sherzinger( shes got a lovely voice. Im not a fan as such). Voice of humanity Roger Daltrey ( lol yes). Need a couple more songs to make it fresh would b amazing. Whos your dream cast for a WOTW movie musical ??

[@giftheck]

Since Spielberg already had Morgan Freeman as the narrator in his adaptation, they would probably shy away from that. Liam Neeson could still play the part in my view.

Squee! :D:D:D:D
