War of the worlds watch: 3

Well, we ran the show last night, full costume, all lights and pyro's/smoke etc. and i have to say, i have never enjoyed a rehersal so much! What a show! There is a trailer HERE and a dodgy video from a guy in the back row of the uk gig HERE on youtube which gives you an idea of whats going on. The scale of this production is MASSIVE and its great working with such a professional outfit

Here is the crew synchronising the 4 projectors to get a seamless image on that HUGE screen behind us.

Here is that martian invasion machine that lands on the stage mid first act.

This is how close I am to it. it lights up and vaporises the audience with its heat ray and can also boil a kettle of water in 3 seconds.

Apparrantly the reason they have so many strings on the gig is because they have a high rate of decending martian invasion machine leg 'vs' violin mortaliy rate.

Also, heres an interesting fact. Phil Lynott was in the orginal crew of the show.
