War Of The Worlds @ the O2

We went to see Jeff Wayne's the War Of The Worlds at the O2 Arena yesterday. If you're a fan of the piece, you simply MUST go see the show. I was a little concerned that they might have mucked around with it a bit and generally ruined it, but overall I had a real blast (blast is right - it was extremely loud, but then I quite rarely get to gigs nowadays, so maybe I'm just showing my age). The show was brilliant fun. The only slight disappointment was that the part of Beth was played by Jennifer Ellison and although she's a vaguely pretty girl, I didn't get on with her part very much, especially with Julie Covington in my head. Other than that it really was great fun, great atmosphere and a generally really enjoyable evening. There are some twee bits of CGI on a screen but after getting used to the twee-ness it's just brilliant fun. Highly recommended.
