War Horse

           It’s a play, and a musical, and a puppet show, and a war. War Horse has literally everything, and there’s nothing to regret about this incredible display of talent and craftsmanship. Documenting the story of a boy whose horse is sent to fight in World War One, War Horse uses enormous puppets, which are controlled by three people who work together with the elegance of ballet dancers. The show’s acting is superb, and its occasional singing of British battle songs merely livens up an already excellent time. Even jokes are littered throughout the wartime epic, and the audience loves them. War Horse does absolutely everything right, and there’s not one thing they scrimp on. The special effects are amazing, if a little loud, and the puppetry cannot be matched. The horses are so realistic that you begin to believe in them. The goose is so real that you begin to sympathize with it when it gets the door slammed in its face. This show is amazing. I am not exaggerating when I say it is the best play I’ve ever seen.
