Amid the growing popularity of immersive exhibitions and experiences, entertainment company, Layered Reality has secured its fifth consecutive Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award for Jeff Wayne’s The War of The Worlds: The Immersive Experience.
Since opening in 2019, this production has welcomed hundreds of thousands of visitors to its home in London.
Created through an innovative partnership between Layered Reality and composer Jeff Wayne, the experience brings HG Wells’ novel and Wayne’s musical adaptation to life through a blend of live theatre, virtual reality, 5D effects, holograms, and immersive surround sound across 24 rooms.
The production gained more than 19,000 five-star reviews across all platforms, including over 6,000 on Tripadvisor.
Beyond its Tripadvisor success, the experience has garnered prestigious industry accolades, including the Thea Award, considered the Oscars of interactive entertainment.
Jeff Wayne commented: “When we first opened, it was meant to run for just three months. Now, over six years later, we’re still here as the UK’s longest-running immersive experience, thanks to consistently incredible reviews, great word-of-mouth, and the loyalty of our amazing audiences. As a result, this experience has always been recognised as ahead of its time, pushing the boundaries of what immersive entertainment can be.”
