Doctor Who Live

Doctor Who Live: The Monsters Are Coming! is an arena stage show based on the BBC TV programme Doctor Who. The show depicts a travelling showman named Vorgenson, portrayed by actor Nigel Planer, attempting to lure the Doctor to Vorgenson's travelling show by summoning monsters from throughout space and time using a device known as the Minimiser. The production premiered on 8 October 2010 in Wembley Arena and toured for the following few months.

The show was conceived after the success of the 2008 Doctor Who Prom, with stage show veteran Will Brenton brought on to help with production. The show is a sequel to the 1973 serial Carnival of Monsters, with Vorgenson being the son of a character from the serial, and several elements of the show being taken from it. The show also features many elements from the series, including monsters such as the Daleks, Cybermen, and Weeping Angels. Matt Smith appears as the Eleventh Doctor via pre-filmed segments due to scheduling conflicts with the ongoing filming of the main series at the time of the show's touring.

The show received largely positive reviews for its performances, music, and appearances by the various monsters, but received minor criticism for aspects of its execution, such as its more childish tone compared to the main series.
