War of the Worlds [Region 2] 2007 Horror Movie Review

I first heard this music in the early 70’s and loved it. It was not until 1980 that I got the vinyl album. Later I got the CD. Now I have the Live On Stage DVD. Let me tell you this. Listen to the album, either on vinyl or CD. Follow the story using the enclosed booklet with the lyrics and the artwork. Try to picture in your mind what is going on as you listen. Then, when you are ready, watch the DVD. You will be blown away!! The DVD is of the stage version of Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of the War of the World’s. An idea first written by H. G. Wells. The special FX are incredible. The music explosive. The cast fantastic. It has literally brought to life the music that captured the world all those years ago. The stage show was only shown in the UK to sold out theatre’s which is why the DVD is Region 2 and 4 only. It is not region 1. I have purchased a region free DVD player. You can also play it on your computer by changing the region in your pc settings. Be warned though, you can only change your region a few times, so it might be wise to get a code free player, especially if you are into non US DVD’s, get a second pc for non US DVD’s or don’t buy the DVD, not recommended!! I cannot recommend this DVD enough, the best musical show I have seen since I saw Cats live in London.
