After reading the book and watching the film it blew my mind, every twist and turn was both surprising and emotional. The puppets make it come alive and the energy put into it is amazing, I myself am only 15 years old and I was in peaces by the end of the first act, words cannot describe it's magnificence it truly has to be seen to be believed. This show will blow your mind and will change your view of theater forever.

Everything about this show is amazing... the acting, the lighting, the music and, of course, the horses. I had to keep reminding myself that they aren't mechanical, that there are actual people controlling them and making them seem so life-like! Highly recommended and not just for horse/animal lovers - it's a really interesting portrayal of the war and how it affected people on all sides.

Great show enjoyed all aspects of the National Theatre's production but it was let down by the venue at the New London Theatre. Seated in C10 & C11 in the dress circle the view was OK but it was too hot and very uncomfortable i.e. cramped for leg space and no centre aisle which meant that all traffic passed by the same people all the time. What a bad design for people to have access to their seats!

this play takes you on an amazing journey and, if you allow them to, the horses will enter your heart. The puppetry is so clever and effortless that you forget they do not have souls and believe their every move, in all the pain and all the characteristics. my only advice would be to save reading the book until after you've seen the play; let the screenplay take you on the journey rather than try to follow the book plot as they differ slightly.

What an experience!! Everything you hope for from a visit to the theatre and then some more. Incredible cast, amazing "horses", fabulous stage setting. A real truimph

So moving and so well conceived,acted,sung,accompanied and choreographed, including the very talented puppeteers. Patrons were exceptionally well cared for by front of house staff, in particular Hannah was excellent. I would emphatically recommend this for someone planning a great night out in New York. Seats were very good even though on the side, the stage enabled a good panoramic view. This show IS for children,mothers and everyone else! We found a great restaurant right opposite the theatre.
