In 1992, Wayne released his second [[Rock Opera]], ''Spartacus'', based on the life of [[Spartacus|the gladiator of the same name]]. It is less well known than ''War Of The Worlds''; while it had an [[All-Star Cast]], Gary Osborne writing the lyrics, and a great story, it didn't recapture the [[Ear Worm]] tunes or novel orchestration of ''War of the Worlds''.
Despite ''Spartacus'' being something of a disappointment, Wayne is still getting significant mileage out of his first work: in 1998 Rage Software produced [[Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds
The tours are still ongoing, with [[Hey, It's That Guy!|Rhydian from X Factor]] playing Parson Nethanial.
