## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice updated version of a great musical experience.
*by D***3 on 8 January 2014*

I really enjoyed this Blu Ray, more than I thought I would. I already have the original concert on DVD and often the first remains your favourite. Although the music was the same, the modernised backdrop graphics and light show were updated and slightly extended, with extra bits of dialogue and clips fitted in. I think it worked very well and the performers did a very good job.The 3D hologram of Liam Neeson worked well with the show and was much better than the originals projection of Richard Burton on that hanging egg, the benefits of modern technology.As others have said, the weak point was Marti Pellow, who somehow just looked too plastic to me, but he wasn't on stage very long so he didn't really spoil it for me.I have to pick out Jason Donovan for a special mention. He is not someone I would be a fan of, but in his part as Preacher Nathaniel he knocked it out of the park. The whole fairly long second section with him was excellently acted and sung by both him and the girl Kerry Ellis, but even when Jason went down the aisles among the crowd, he stayed every inch the man in torment.This blu Ray is well worth buying whether you have seen the original or not, and it is performed differently enough to make it a new experience of a modern day classic concert. A very entertaining couple of hours tp sit back and enjoy the best version of War of The Worlds ever produced, even though it was a musical because Spielberg's version with Kevin Costner was one of his few really bad films!Oh and make sure you watch it right till the end after the bows, for the last little surprise ending.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great new take on this ground breaking recording.
*by S***J on 8 December 2020*

Having grown up with the original War of the Worlds, I must admit to being reluctant to giving this version a try but I must admit to being pleasantly surprised. In this updated version, there is a lot more of the original narrative from the book is included. All the songs are there, some of them tweeked a bit. Jason Donovan as Parson Nathaniel was probably the stand out performance for me. A brilliant portrayal of someone at war with themselves over their belief and the reality he's now faced with. Ricky Wilson is also highly believable as the deranged artilleryman. Now then, on to Marti Pellow. I notice there are plenty of people on here moaning about his performance. In my opinion, anyone who took on both Justin Hayward as well as the most iconic song from the original recording was on a hiding to nothing. No one could hope to replicate that performance. Marti Pellow does fine for me, not great but a fine attempt at the song of the show. Don't let it spoil the rest of the show for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great to see a new version.
*by P***3 on 22 November 2022*

My favourite music of all time, with great additional dialogue and new fancy twiddly music bits.Generally great singers however its let down by Marti Pellow who is not a patch on the original singer. Forever Autumn which he sings (my favourite bit) is very poorly sung and hasn’t the voice compared to the original.
