War Horse at Orpheum Theatre

A remarkable tale of courage, loyalty and friendship.?

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, serving on both?sides before finding himself alone in no man’s land. But Albert cannot forget? Joey and, still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to?find him and bring him home.

This powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and? songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness that is currently playing to?packed houses in London, New York and Toronto. At its heart are astonishing?life-sized puppets created by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, that?bring to life breathing, galloping, charging horses strong enough for men to?ride.
