Show Description

WAR HORSE tells the story of young Albert’s beloved horse, Joey, which has been sold to the cavalry and shipped to France. In a tale that the Sunday Express said is “…both epic and intimate,” and “absolutely guaranteed to move the heart,” Joey is caught in enemy crossfire and ends up serving both sides of the war before landing in no man’s land. Albert, not old enough to enlist, embarks on treacherous mission to find his horse and bring him home. What follows is a remarkable tale of courage, loyalty and friendship.

WAR HORSE is filled with stirring music and songs, and at the heart of the show are life-sized puppets which bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to life on stage. “The puppetry is nothing short of miraculous,” according to The Times of London.

Recommended for ages 12 and up.
Note: Children under the age of 5 are not permitted in the theater.

Part of the 2012/13 Duke Energy Broadway Lights Series presented by Blumenthal Performing Arts in Charlotte, NC. Buy now with a Season Ticket package. Click here for more information.
