War Horse Tickets

Horses looked real, their movements, gestures and facial expressions were incredibly well done. Furthermore, sound and lighting during the battles were impressive. I enjoyed the performance a lot.Congratulations to all the company. One advice I would give to families would be not to go with children around 5 years old because the strong sound of the shoots can make the children feel frightened.

Very moving and thought provoking; spectacular creativity with horses; so natural and researched - you forget the horse are 'nor real'; amazing passion shown by Albert - extremely well acted! Standing Ovation.

war horse was a Christmas gift to my friend so I tagged along, I had seen the film so I thought I would enjoy the show also. From the very start I was drawn into the performance by the brilliant skills of the actors who appeared well cast for their part, those actors demonstrating the horses were amazing and you really saw them as horses, brilliant. A very moving and thought provoking show and definitely one I would recommend. However I did think some members of the audience were a bit too young to watch it, mainly due to sudden loud bangs and distracting the audience. Overall, excellent.

Positives: It was very creative, comical at times and definitely took you on an emotional journey. Although the horses were puppets, they were AMAZING. The horses were very life like and evoked empathy and warmth. Every nuance of a horses movement was mimicked to look very realistic. Negative: My only negative would be that I struggled to find the performance of Alberts mother believable! Although it was good, there felt to be no truth. However, this was probably due to an 'off' day having performed the show over and over; it's hard to stay fresh.
