The War of the Worlds: Live on Stage!

I'm watching this (right now) because a friend was there, he loaned me the DVD, and insisted I watch it (apparently the back of his bonce is visible as he walks up an aisle heading for the khazi; I've not spotted him).

I hate rock opera with a passion, and this extravaganza of utter pap exemplifies why I hate it, on steroids. No power, no passion, just pure, contrived nonsense. Not only is it an insult to rock music, it's an insult to H. G. Wells and Richard Burton.

I could be much, much ruder about this inconsequential piffle, but I'll leave it there lest my review gets rejected.

Not sure what Khazie man is saying.

Clearly no comprehension of just how successful this production has been.

One of my childhood memories, played probably a million times!

Performed by some of the best voices in the music industry in the early 2000s. And Marty Pellow.

Not my most favourite version, but none the less, phenomenal.
