ON MARS is a new kind of music theatre sprung from the loins of classic rock operas like JC Superstar and Tommy but with a twenty first century twist. Much of the material comes from the albums Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane and Diamond Dogs . The Project Life on Mars is an urban conceptual theatre piece based on the music and lyrics of, undoubtedly, the most important and influential popular music artist of our time, David Bowie.
