Amazing performance! The puppetry is fantastic - and horses come to life on stage. Although to me this is more of a play with some music and not a traditional musical - it was well worth going. Beautiful folk music and multi-media effects.

"War Horse", like its childrens' book source, portrays simplistic visions of conflict wrapped up all too neatly at the end. The Atlanta cast kept losing their accents, and the horse-less scenes dragged. However, the horse "puppets" were astonishing, gorgeous creations, and the set design, with a "ripped paper sketchbook" motif on which projections constantly changed the scene, added to the high level of artistry on the part of all those who create the magic behind the scenes of a big play production.

This was a great performance. The second act drug on a bit, but the Horses and the guys making them move were the show. Unfortunately, The Fox has decided that you don't really have to show up on time for a performance any longer, seating at least 50+ people well (20-30 minutes) after the show started. Two people on our row showed up 20 minutes late and were rude enough to come in seperately, one after going to concession stand. Totally ruined several scenes. Would love to speak to the Fox GM and see why their policy is one thing and they do another.

I had seen the movie version, so knew the story.I went mainly to see the horses and was not disappointed by either the puppets or their handlers who brought them to life. Staging and the background strip were excellent. Acting, especially by "Albert", could have been better. I don't remember the French woman and girl being in the movie, and wondered why the girl's part was played by an African-American. She performed well, but the casting left a question of her relationship with the French woman. Overall, it was a good performance.
