The score is played live and conducted onstage by Wayne himself. The show will include new music, a full supporting company of performers as well as video walls, the iconic Martian Fighting Machine, special effects and — in 3D holography — Liam Neeson as the Journalist.

It is based on H.G. Wells' novel, first published in 1898, that was the prototype for all science fiction. It describes the invasion of earth by ruthless Martians with superior intelligence, incredible machines and devastating weaponry.
