Episode notes
It was a treat for Nick & Sue to interview the great Jeff Wayne on the Chatterbox Redux Podcast.
In this episode, Jeff, the mastermind behind the iconic musical version of The War of The Worlds, Tells us how a 19th-century novel became a 1970s prog-rock masterpiece and a modern-day immersive phenomenon.
Jeff’s enthusiasm is infectious, and it’s clear that even after nearly 50 years, he’s still finding new ways to make us fear (and love) the Martians. Nick and Sue extract plenty of the "behind-the-scenes" magic that fans usually don't hear.
The interview covers the 2025/2026 tour and look toward how Jeff will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary in 2028. This podcast is a must for all fans.
