Joss Stone has lent her voice to an updated version of Jeff Wayne's 1978 album War of the Worlds. Stone joins an impressive cast including Gary Barlow and Liam Neeson.
The musical is based on H.G. Wells story about an alien invasion of Victorian England. The new production features Neeson as the 3D holographic narrator interacting with the stage's live performers.
"To revisit something that worked so well for me but in modern times I can do things that I could never have done technologically in the mid-70s when I first composed and produced it. It was a great and exciting challenge," said Wayne of the new production.
War of the Worlds - the New Generation opens at the Liverpool Echo Arena on December 1, 2012.
