Called "theatrical magic" by The New York Times, War Horse is the visually and emotionally spectacular winner of five 2011 Tony Awards® including Best Play, and was also adapted into a Steven Spielberg film, vying for Best Picture at this year's Academy Awards®. This original National Theatre of Great Britain production, which premiered to critical and popular acclaim in London, now arrives exclusively at the Ahmanson. The show tells the epic story of Joey, a horse who's sold into the cavalry in World War I, and the young man whose connection with this beloved animal spurs him on a treacherous journey to find him and bring him back from enemy lines. The incredibly life-like puppets that portray Joey and the other equines on stage will take your breath away, and were created by South Africa's Handspring Puppet Company, awarded an honorary Tony Award® for its work. Tickets for this highly-anticipated production are being offered to Goldstar members before going on sale to the general public and feature prime seating locations.

Sondheim's Follies: Tony-Winning Broadway Hit at the Ahmanson

Full Price:: $95.00 - $110.00
Our Price:: $47.50 - $55.00

The Kennedy Center's critically-acclaimed Broadway production of Stephen Sondheim's classic musical Follies, currently nominated for eight 2012 Tony Awards, comes to the Ahmanson Theatre, where it's receiving equally stellar reviews. It's the haunting story of two troubled couples who reunite at the decrepit theater where the ladies once performed, facing the ghosts of the past and the harsh reality of the present. Featuring a memorable score by Sondheim, including such enduring songs as "Broadway Baby," "Losing My Mind" and "I'm Still Here," the show is also a riveting look at the deterioration of the American dream -- a crack in the plaster of the gilded age of Broadway. Director Eric Schaeffer is joined by much of his original cast -- with 41 performers, it's one of the largest ever on this stage -- as well as a 28-piece orchestra. Tony Award-winner Victoria Clark joins the production, while reprising their roles from the New York show are 2012 Tony nominees Jan Maxwell, Danny Burstein and Ron Raines. Learn More

Description

Based on a Novel by Michael Morpurgo
Adapted for the Stage by Nick Stafford
In association with Handspring Puppet Company

This remarkable tale of courage, loyalty and friendship opened to rave reviews in London and New York. Coming exclusively to the Ahmanson.

England, 1914. As World War One begins, Joey, young Albert’s beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry and shipped from England to France. He’s soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey, before finding himself alone in no man’s land. But Albert cannot forget Joey and he embarks on a treacherous mission to find him and bring him home.

The horses in this amazing piece of theatre are life-size and life-like: crafted in cane, steel, leather and aircraft cables, by the extraordinary Handspring Puppet Company of South Africa, they embody the fire, spirit and nobility of living, breathing steeds.

This National Theatre of Great Britain production will thrill audiences at the Ahmanson. War Horse, filled with stirring music and song, is an astonishing event every family with children over 13 will enjoy.

You’ve never seen anything quite like War Horse. This epic tale is both highly inventive spectacle and powerfully moving drama, with one of the largest casts (over 30) ever assembled on the Ahmanson stage. This odyssey of a boy and his horse took London by storm before opening on Broadway in Spring 2011.
