Two year extended licence announced for JEFF WAYNE’S THE WAR OF THE WORLDS: THE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE

Composer, Producer Jeff Wayne and Layered Reality, the UK’s leading immersive experience specialist, has announced an extension of their licensing agreement following the resounding success of their multi-award winning show Jeff Wayne’s The War of The Worlds: The Immersive Experience.

The licensing deal will see the experience remain at London’s Leadenhall Street for a further 2-years and as part of the evolving partnership, the production is receiving upgrades including new music sequences and sound design originated by Jeff Wayne, seamlessly integrated into new visual moments in the show. And for customers who visit the venue’s The Spirit of Man steampunk bar and restaurant, they’ll also be entertained by a new light and sound show as they enjoy a drink.

Set in 21 rooms over two floors, visitors travel back to 1898 and experience escaping a Martian-occupied Victorian England in an action-packed journey through the classic tale of HG Wells’ The War of The Worlds, all set to Jeff Wayne's iconic score. Layered Reality uses a mix of live actors, movie quality sets, virtual reality (VR), digital tech and multi-sensory effects to create a complete experience.

Composer and Producer Jeff Wayne said: “In June of this year, we announced that The War of The Worlds: The Immersive Experience would be relocating to a new venue and featuring an updated production. However, soon after our announcement, we had the wonderful and unexpected opportunity to remain at Leadenhall Street for a further two years, which we couldn’t say ‘no’ to. And we’re thrilled that new and returning audiences will have the chance to see this updated award-winning experience for more years to come. Originally planned for a 3-month run, here we are, almost five years later, and heading for seven! No one would have believed!

For those who want to witness the experience first-hand, Jeff Wayne’s The War of The Worlds: The Immersive Experience, tickets are available now here.
