Tonight, my last night in Nottingham for a few weeks and I saw The War of the Worlds at the Ice Arena.
I can summarize the show in one sentence... room for improvement.
A shame because it's such a classic show. The problem is they haven't tried to catch up with/use today's 3D technology. Their images to me seemed quite primitive. Also the sound quality of the show was really nasty. Their voices were either too quiet and pumped full of treble or too loud and still with a lot of treble.
However, the music was fantastic. Well-written (apparently by the Moody Blues!) and exciting to watch because they involved both classical and modern rock instruments. The stage was split into two; one half had a full orchestra (I counted over 30 violins alone); and the other side of the stage had a rock band and what could've been Peter Gabriel's backing band!

Music: (in my head) The man that plays the blues guitar near market square
