WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Winner of 5 Tony Awards including Best Play!

At the outbreak of World War One, Joey, young Albert's beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry and shipped to France. He's soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary odyssey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in no man's land. But Albert cannot forget Joey and, still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a mission to find him and bring him home.

THEATER/VENUE INFORMATION:

Vivian Beaumont Theater
150 W 65th St
New York, NY 10023

This Broadway theater, which opened in 1965 at the then-astronomical price of $9,700,000, has the benefit of not being smack in the middle of congested Times Square. The auditorium has a spacious concrete shell with excellent sightlines.

WHAT ARE CRITICS SAYING?

Anyone who loves inventive theater is urged to gallop at high speed to Lincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont Theatre to see
War Horse, which proves to be one of the most moving events of this or any year in recent memory. This harshly beautiful spectacle, which first premiered at the National Theatre in London in 2007, offers some of the most astonishing puppetry ever put on a stage, which is only one of the elements that may bring tears to your eyes.

This season ticket scalper: War Horse
An extremely, remarkably great play. I have not experience this in any of the plays I have seen. Its a colossal loss if you miss this. Worth every penny of the full price!

A Terrific Show for the Entire Family
The ?human? actors in War Horse perform wonderfully but they all must take back seats to the true stars of this spectacular multi-media production, Joey and Topthorn, two larger than life equine puppets and their creators and the several different puppeteers who manipulate them on stage. For it is Joey and Topthorn who dominate this play from beginning to end - and who are the primary reason that you should make every effort to bring your whole family to see this play. The story itself is exciting, adventurous and likely to be enjoyed by children and adults alike. But it is also much more than that. It is a story of honor and deceit, of man?s humanity and inhumanity to his fellow man, of children and adults, of mothers, fathers and sons, of envy and petty rivalries, of bravery and cowardice, of the horror and futility of war ? in sum, of everything that makes man what he is, for better or for worse. And what makes the play so remarkably expressive is that much of this is depicted through the incredible movements of those larger-than-life equine puppets on stage. I have posted an expanded review of this play and reviews of several other plays on my blog www.aseatontheaisle.blogspot.com.
