For the first time, a real-life couple will be performing as the musical's married pair.
The first two cast members have been announced for the upcoming arena tour of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds, which will hit the road on The Spirit of Man Tour in 2025.
For the first time, a real-life couple will be performing as the married pair: Max George as Parson Nathaniel and Maisie Smith as Beth.
Jeff said: “Being a couple in real life will add to their on-stage charisma and chemistry. Maisie has such a melodic but powerful voice, which compliments Max’s dramatic and soulful vocals wonderfully."
One of the most trailblazing arena tours of all time, Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of The Worlds (TWOTW) returns to UK arenas in 2025 with a musical spectacular like none other. Based on HG Wells’ dark Victorian tale, the production remains a favourite to millions around the world, exciting audiences of all ages.
