The Monsters Are Coming! (stage play)

Doctor Who: Here Come the Monsters is the title of a forthcoming stage show featuring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor. The show is being produced by BBC Worldwide with consultation from series Head Writer Steven Moffat. The show will feature recorded video clips of the Doctor, special effects, monsters from the series and a live band conducted by long-standing series composer Murray Gold. It is due to tour nine venues in Scotland in October 2010. Matt Smith and Karen Gillan have filmed scenes as the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond that will be played during the show, but will not appear on stage. Murray Gold has composed the soundtrack, which will be performed by a live orchestra conducted by Ben Foster.

Murray Gold said: "The live element always adds something extra, but these will also be brand new arrangements for a new band of very talented musicians. It's very exciting."

Steven Moffat said: "This is everything I ever wanted since I was 11. A live show, with all the coolest Doctor Who monsters, a proper story, and brand new screen material." - Due to him saying the show had a proper story, it is unclear, although this indicates this shows story may be within canon and an extension of the series in a similar way to Doctor Who: The Adventure Games.

It has been confirmed that Judoon, Ood, Daleks, Cybermen, Scarecrows, Saturnynians, Smilers, Winders, Silurians, Weeping Angels and Clockwork Droids will be appearing. Young Ones actor Nigel Planer will also appear as a character called Vorgenson who is a travelling showman.It is a sort of sequel to Carnival of Monsters. Also, a short trailer was released with clips from the show, clips from Doctor Who at the Proms, and exclusive filmed clips set in the TARDIS starring Matt Smith.(Click here to view)
