The play was fantastic. I love musicals and plays and this was something different but in a good way. The horses and puppeteers were really fabulous. I would recommend this to any one. The crowd really got into the story!

If you enjoyed the Lion King, you should see War Horse. The horses seemed real. The production was excellent. I would like to see it again.

The show really dragged in parts, and had me looking at my watch hoping for it to end. The sets were almost non-existent, and very minimal. The puppeteers being onstage was distracting and made it hard to lose yourself in the play. The horses themselves were very well done and were a really neat thing to see.
Some scenes in the play would have been difficult to follow if you didn't already know the story from the book or movie. One of the few times I'd say the movie was significantly better than the play.

I had always wanted to see this play. I avoided it because I thought the subject matter would be too upsetting.
Then the movie came out. I wanted to see that too. Ultimately, I felt the play would be the lesser of 2 evils, emotionally speaking.
Mostly I wanted to see the play because of what I had heard about the puppetry;
i.e. the bits and pieces that were shown during advertisements.
It was impressive. I was not blown away as I had hoped.
The puppeteers do a great job, but must be visible due to the intrinsic nature of their jobs.
Unfortunately, I found this distracting. They ever 'disappeared' for me. In every scene I thought, Who's that guy holding the horse?
Who's that lady chasing that goose?
I am very glad I saw this play once. I probably will not see it again.
If you are interested, I strongly urge you to check it out. Most people enjoy it immensely.
Good luck

The story is of a boy and his horse set in the time prior to and during WW I. The most entertaining part of the performance was the puppetry which brought the horses in the play to life, very well done. The story is a very serious one and at times quite depressing. This is not a story for young children because of the war content which, at times, was displayed somewhat graphically. On the positive side the acting was very good and as mentioned the puppetry was superb. The entire cast was excellent. The drawbacks were that the story, while thought provoking, was not as entertaining as I expected, it was for the most part depressing. In addition the audio volume left a lot to be desired as many of the lines spoken by the actors were inaudible. To me and my guest the show was a 3 star rating but was raised to 4 stars due to the superb puppetry.
