Today I went to the matinee of WARHORSE, which is playing at the Boston Opera House this week and next week. An online friend of mine is the automation carpenter for the tour, which was the main reason I went to see it. and to get a chance to chat with him again and get the quickie backstage tour with him. I was expecting to be wowed by the horse puppet. Which I certianly was. I was not expecting there to be several other horse puppets all of them equally amazing.
Nor was I expecting their to be a tank. that was rather a shock. the acting was impeccable, as I would expect, but is still lovely to see a play well performed by top tier talent. Nor was I expecting songs, but they fit the flow of the show very well. The goose played comic relief quite well, and even though the puppeteers were all in plain view, I was easily able to ignore them as they performed the puppets supurbly.
If you have the chance to see this show when it comes around to your neck of the world, it is well worth it. Tthere is usually some cheap seats up in the balcony or way off to the side, so don't let the large prices scare you off. http://warhorseonstage.com/
