Optional extras are available for groups when booking, including a Q&A with composer and producer Jeff Wayne and backstage tours.
Jeff Wayne’s The War of The Worlds: The Immersive Experience will now run until September 2025, with tickets for February to September performances on sale.
Located at 56 Leadenhall Street, London, the experience, created by Layered Reality, is set across 24 interactive scenes.
It combines immersive theatre with surround sound, multiple virtual reality sequences, and 5D effects, placing audiences at the heart of a Martian invasion in Victorian England, accompanied by the score of Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of The Worlds.
Visitors will interact with both live actors and digital performances, including the recorded voices of Justin Hayward (The Moody Blues), Nathan James (Inglorious), and Ricky Wilson (Kaiser Chiefs).
Groups will also encounter holographic and digital appearances from stars of the musical: Carrie Hope Fletcher, Tom Brittney, and Anna-Marie Wayne, creating a fully immersive journey which lasts 1 hour 50 minutes, including a 20 minute interval.
Jeff Wayne has overseen every aspect of the experience, including the script, sets, costumes, VR, lighting, sound design, and merchandise.
The composer and producer said: “When we first opened The War of The Worlds: The Immersive Experience, it was meant to run for just three months. Now, over five years later, we’re still here as the UK’s longest-running immersive experience, thanks to incredible reviews, word-of-mouth, and the loyalty of our amazing audiences.
“This experience has always been ahead of its time, pushing the boundaries of what immersive entertainment can be. I’m thrilled to extend it through 2025, so even more people can immerse themselves in this unforgettable adventure.”
Visitors can also enjoy pre or post-show meals, cooked to order and prepared in the Martian themed Spirit of Man Bar & Restaurant, located on site.
Groups can book at a discounted price, with extras including food and drinks, a Q&A with Jeff Wayne, backstage tours and merchandise gift bags available upon request.
