The musical adaptation of War of The Worlds will never not be funny to me. Like, yeah H.G. was onto something good but what this novel really needs is a sick guitar solo.

This is so fucking brain rot dont give gen z media from the 70s they will ruin it
The Artillery Man from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds (voiced by David Essex) would absolutely be a tumblr sexy man. It's the trauma and delusional himbo optimism, as well as Essex's lovely accent. Listen to the track Brave New World. More than the tumblr sexy man of it all, its also just a brilliantly lovely and human moment in the musical. Two men running from martians, who saw each others' supposed deaths, reunite in saftety and the narrator listens to the artillary man's grand ideas in quiet amusement and pity - and then they play games, an activity the narrator admits in the tone of someone who knows the ludicrousy of such a thing in their ongoing apocolypse.

ok so Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds kinda fucking slaps, why did nobody tell me earlier?
#jeff wayne#war of the worlds#Thunderchild my beloved#the speed at which the artilleryman devolves into mole behaviour is comedy gold

Jeff Wayne’s musical version of War Of The Worlds should not be as funky as it is. Mate people are getting burnt alive by Martians this should not have such a good baseline. The Artilleryman And The Fighting Machine is one of the funkiest pieces but every song in this album about an alien invasion should play at a disco

every few years im reminded that the war of the worlds stage show exists which is never good because i always find something new to hate about it
#missives#the war of the worlds#jeff wayne#watched a few clips of the latest tour and brooooo why does it suck so bad#it doesnt have to be this way. make me the single divine arbiter of what goes into the show and ill fix it i promise#lile obviously it is successful somehow but that doesnt make it good#rip it from jeff's clammy little hands and make it into a proper musical please please please. they were on the right track in 2016#with the dominion theatre production#its been downhill ever since#like. its just a bunch of decrepit old men way past their prime who desperately need to retire (looking at jeff and herbie flowers and JH)#and a stupid fucken hologram of an actor nobody likes. put a real actor there PLEASE#its soooo painful watching these genuinely talented performers being forced to rush their lines#anyway! my latest gripe#every new iteration of brave new world ive seen since 2018 keeps making the song worse#2018 is on thin fucking ice bevause i like the cast so much but thats where it all began im pretty sure#turning the end of the song into this weird combo love duet and whole cast ensemble song (life begins again) out of fucken nowhere#its the artilleryman's song holy shit get that out of here!#and i get that the latest tour is the 'post covid' life begins again tour or w/e but holy FUCK#can someone please explain to me why they now even have the other cast members on the screen saying lines at the same time#as the artilleryman#e.g. im not trying to tell you what to be#and its going to have to start with me and you etc etc etc#its annoying and even worse it doesnt make sense!!! why are they there!!! why are they saying the lines!! those lines have a very#specific meaning within the context of the song#idk it just seems like the song keeps being stripped of all its original meaning and i really like it so it's driving me bonkers#anywya. ANYWAY
