War Horse
On Stage
At Lincoln Center Stage
NYC
Recently I was invited to War Horse on Stage at Lincoln Center Stage, NYC.
From the moment the invitation arrived I could not have been any more excited. I have wanted to see War Horse forever and now I was going to see it live on stage. The thought did cross my mind wondering if I would be able to buy into the whole "horse on stage" aspect of the show.
I am not new to Broadway and have been an avid show watcher since before I hit my teens(a long time ago), but I don't think I have ever been to a show that depicted animals in the way that War Horse seemed to have mastered.

War Horse had me from the moment it began. The magic of a tiny colt running free on the stage, manned by puppeteers was just fascinating. War Horse itself has quite an involved and intense theme.
Joey(War Horse) is won in a bet between two brothers, even though the brother that won has sacrificed his mortgage money to do so. The tiny colt is brought home and Albert(the young son) along with the audience falls hopelessly in love with Joey later known as War Horse. We watch as Joey and Albert from a relationship that tears at our hearts and Joey grows into a full sized horse in front of our eyes. Check out the cast of War Horse here.

War Horse is set in England during World War I but soon changes to Germany and France. Along with the change goes Joey, sold into the Calvary by Albert's father and taken to France. Albert is heartbroken as we watch Joey being taken and vows to find a way for them to be together again. The scenes are quite intriguing. The accompanying music and songs help us to feel the emotion that engulfed the mood of this Broadway show.
Of course, Joey is not the only horse on the stage. There are scenes of galloping and War World I that will come to life in front of your very eyes. I sat in amazement as the show went on.
I would definitely recommend this show to anyone looking for a wonderful night out.
Note: There are quite a few tissue alerts.
