Los Angeles — Twenty-first-century Londoners will be transported back to the late 19th century of H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds" to join a fight for survival after a Martian invasion in an interactive experience featuring theater and virtual reality and holograms.

"The War of the Worlds: The Immersive Experience", which opened in London on Friday, is based on composer Jeff Wayne's multi-million selling double-album musical version of the Victorian novel that has terrified generations. — Reuters
