Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds Tickets

After years of anticipation and hearing excellent reviews, I finally purchased 2 tickets at the co op live for my partners birthday. Unfortunately, we were sadly disappointed. From start the finish the event wasn't very good for us . The Co op live arena is an absolute joke ...really expensive. £18 for 2 drinks . £30 for 2 little burgers and chips . £9 cans of drinks , £12.50 for a burnt chicken sandwich ...... And the seats are awful . No room whatsoever, Really tight and very uncomfortable, we would never visit there again . Has to be the worst venue we've ever been!!! In regards to the show....we didn't like the venue but really wanted to persevere and watch The War of the worlds ....sadly it didn't live up to the hype . Very repetitive music , cheesy and low budget cgi movie , the lighting and laser show was awful . Just an all round disappointment., especially paying the prices charged.. We felt like to get the full immersive experience , you'd need to be in the middle or at the front....which cost a staggering £500-£1000 per ticket . We paid just over £200 row Block 110 row 12. We didn't experience anything great 😕 I'm sure others had a nice time , and I don't want to sound like a hater, I just wanted to review my experience.... Years of excitement for this show ....Sadly , we left at the interval .. we are absolutely gutted and just didn't like anything about the experience..

The show was outstanding, absolutely amazing. Gripping from start to finish! The suspense and emotion were perfectly balanced with great performances and intense storytelling. A thrilling take on a classic concept - I couldn't stop watching." Highly recommend it and I would love to watch it again.

Third time seeing this show and once again absolutely terrific, the music is so much better live , the stars, musicians , and of course Jeff Wayne just absolutely astounding would recommend to anyone so hope it comes back to Newcastle in the future

Simply amazing The entire show was brilliant from start to finish

Great show. Tweaked a little since we last saw it But still good and great music

Been wanting to see this show for years and it didn't disappoint.

Firstly can I Thank the stewards, every single on polite and courteous. The production of the show was one of the best I've seen. We loved it, would have happily gone back in and watched it again x

This was a truly amazing production the cast and orchestra kept us enthralled the whole night would definitely recommend and will be returning

The music and atmosphere for this show were brilliant but unfortunately the dialogue acoustics were very poor - if I had not already known the story line, I still wouldn't !!

Saw WotW at Newcastle arena last night and what a night it was. We had the silver VIP package so very close to the stage. Thoroughly enjoyed enjoyed the night. The music was excellent as was the singing. I would definitely recommend going to see this. You won't be disappointed. The only criticism is, paying so much for the VIP tickets that there should be a little more in the box of goodies. Especially a program. Paying an extra £20 for a program when you've paid £149 for the ticket is rather steep. Other than that, a good night was had by all.

Cannot describe how phenomenal this is , we were absolutely transfixed all the way through.

The war of the worlds was amazing. Really enjoyed the evening. The staff were brilliant at getting everyone in and out. Just one downside the price of drinks were a rip off. £8.80 for 2 bottles of pop.

From start to finish , gripping , enthralling performance. Talented musicians and performers …Just gets better and better each time. Loved it …

This was a fantastic night with the iconic music remastered, by Jeff, giving the iconic music an extra dimension. If you live the original music you wont be dissapointed. Jeff Wayne himself conducting was an added bonus. 8pm start was a bit too late for a 2.5 hour show but well worth it.

What a night! My other half who was totally unaware of WOTW absolutely loved the performance . What more could one want? Stella performances by all the artists all conducted by the man himself , Jeff Wayne. Get the chance to see it then do not pass it up. Brilliant.

A fantastic show. Brought back so many memories. The actors and musicians were fabulous and the show was put together very well. Brilliant special effects

Very organized at the venue. The sound was outstanding. Jeff Wayne is a genius. Never tire of listening and seeing the show.

This production was out of this world! The whole show! I hope it does come round again cause I would book again! The master of Jeff Wayne the singers the special effects BRILLIANT!!!!

Was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, actors were absolutely amazing. Only downside I forgot to book Ovo Hydro car park so had to use multi story which cost us £12 Would definitely go again to watch it, we'll worth the money and highly recommend it

Second time for me seeing this spectacular show and first for my son, they didn't disappoint either of us, would definitely recommend anyone who hasn't seen it to go, they will enjoy it.
