The whole show is totally involving absorbing and emotional. The Puppetry ( a poor description) is wholly convincing as is the interaction between the actors and the horses. A wonderfull telling of an important story and an absolute must see! All this from a cynical non theatre luvvie. More

A good play but the seats in the circle have limited leg room. I am 5 foot 8 inches tall and the space was so restrictive I lost circuation in my legs and it really did impact the viewing experience. The stalls looked to have more leg room. Also, alcohol drinks are very expensive - one glass of wine and... More

A truely amazing performance, the puppetry is unique, quite brilliant. Quite harrowing in the second act but then so was the war for men and beasts alike. Glad I saw the play before the film and also before reading the book but still enjoyed the film. I thoroughly recommend this play. More

We went last year and having now seen the film, I think the show is better (although both are very good). How they make those 'puppets' look and act like real horses is amazing. I was suprised that I was crying at the end! More

War Horse was recommended by friends and it was a fantastic night out. The puppetry in the play was spellbinding and you actually believed that the puppets were real horses. It was a great play and I would strongly recommend it. More

If you want to be enthralled by a show, then we have just thoroughly enjoyed the 'Warhorse' show at the New London Theatre.If you are not aware, the 'warhorse' is a live size puppet, the likes of which we have never seen before. The puppetry of this show was excellent- we even thought the warhorse was actually breathing- phenominal work... More
