But not my taste because I want to see a 'real' opera rather than a drama. Reviewed on 03 January by Daihui , Shanghai , China. I thought that the show was brilliant. The actors had the west country accent spot on and as we are Cornish, we are the best judges of that. Its a shame that its closing down. The horses seemed so real, very emotional, I loved it. This was an amazing show. The performers were superb and the movement of the horses was faultless. I was absolutely flabbergasted by the whole thing and haven't stopped talking about it since I got home.
What I liked the most is the brilliant acting performance by lead actor who played Albert. He had good connection with Joey and brought the character into life. Definately advise anyone and everyone to watch this. Everyone will love it. Some of the props that were used were unimaginable and very fascinating! The storyline was great and overall a wonderful production. Acting was amazing. Great for WW1 historians and generally any other history lovers.

The show was wonderful. During the first few minutes you are aware that men are carrying the horse then the horse Joey becomes alive. Watch out for the goose she gets a great clap at the end. It's the best show in London. We have been to most of the major shows in London but for us this is right at the top.
Incredible, emotional and breathtaking! Excellent show and definately a must see for anyone who loves theatre. The seats were amazing and you really felt in the midst of it all with the actors walking around the seats!
Reviewed on 30 November by Karin , Kellyville , Australia. Very poignant at this time of year - near to Remembrance Day. Totally absorbed throughout the performance. Superb acting and very clever mechanical operation of the horses. The show enlightened the audience to the importance played by the horses during the Great War.
Very clever use of the minimal scenary. Moving music all the way through. A wonderful production. Puppetry amazing. Strong emotive storyline.
Lightened by just the right amount of humour. Thought this show was innovative and beautifully stage an inmate knowledge and study of horse behaviour The stamina of the actors was amazing Funny and sad and joyful. Show was fantastic, probably the best I have ever been to. Action scenes on stage amazing, much more feeling of empathy than film. As above, a wonderful story. We had seats in the stalls and felt so involved in the what was going on on the stage. The horses movements etc were very realistic, they got the expressions down to a T.
I have been to many places in my time but this one just beats them all just everything was just fantastic and I'd go and watch it again. Really enjoyed it great theatre not too big to see the stage properly and recommend the show. The movements of the horse puppets were realistic.
Did't want the interval just wanted to keep watching!! The only annoyance was that it was very hard to hear 'mums' voice thankfully the other characters projected beautifully - this may have just been a temporary microphone fault tho.
Absolutley worth watching and will do again if we have the oppourtunity. The horse puppets used in the show were very accurate to real horses. The lighting also helped the mood of the show.
The story was well written, and the actors seemed like they were the actual people. Beyond expectations It was only my first experience and I was immediately blown away. What a show! The story was well told and the horses were very well crafted but I prefer a more musical and colourful performance so I leave the theatre on a high.
A bit depressing for me although my daughter thoroughly enjoyed it. This was the second time I have seen War Horse at this theatre and yet again it was amazing.
The whole thing is absolutely awesome, especially the horses. Great story and acting. Kudos to the puppetry guys who made the animals so lifelike; it's almost as if they are real animals. No details were missed, e. The twitches in their faces and movement, the sounds, even the breathing rhythm of the horses.

Rather like a real horse, Joey is 10ft long and 8ft high, with over 20 major joints to create life-like movement; he even has vertical levers to curl the knees and lift the hooves.
