Hey, sorry I didn't get this up sooner, been a bit busy with other things. Anywho, I thought this show was pretty awesome. Apparently I was wrong in thinking War Of The Worlds started out as an lp when it was first made. It was, however, a film ages ago. Then it was made into the lp. Then we had the most recent film and finally hte musical show which i saw a few days ago.

The setup was a large (ish – prolly about 20-30piece) orchestra on one side of the stage with a band on the other side, which comprised of a couple of guitarists, a bassist (possibly 2) and a drummer or two (I couldn't really see them that well). The sound was great, big loud orchestra .

The musicians were sitton on the stage in front of a huge film screen which didn't appear to be projection to me so it was probably rear projection or something. But they used this to show film clips of the aliens walking around on mars and landing on Earth etc, but they didn't use it so much that the whole thing just became a film which was good. Also for certain scenes they had actors/actresses on stage acting out sections and singing etc.

The only downpoint I would say is that for a big musical show, it didn't feel all that much more special than just listening to it on cd, apart from the fact the music sounded better.

Also, on a quick note. I made this picture last night. I guess it is slightly relevant, almost looks like the Earth after the martians move in and all the red weed covers the Earth.

Please ask if you wish to use this photo. And thanks to ROSIE for the stock photo .

Technorati: War Worlds photo aftermath

At school at the moment, don't have a lesson right now so I thought I'd update this. Anywho I'm going to work later, joy, at least working mid-week is easier than Saturdays because there are less time-wasters. Oh well, I'm going to see the original musical version of War Of The Worlds played live at Wembley Arena tonight with a big orchestra and band. Should be pretty cool.

Heres todays photo. I actually really like this one. As always, please ask if you wish to use it.
