I saw War Horse (Broadway) on 04/09/11. Overall, I'd say it was a 5-star rating. I'd summarize it by saying “Take the entire family to see this show!”

I had a terrific time and left the show feeling exhilarated and very satisfied. I'd describe the show as adventurous, creative, and exciting. The larger than life size equine puppets was a highlight of the show because they were manipulated in a way that I did not think was even possible to achieve. If this were a movie, I'd rate it PG. I would recommend this show to everyone including children.

I would see this show again. I sat in the center orchestra area of the theater. The view was clear and the seats were comfortable.

This play about a boy and his horse is an epic adventure story brought to life through the incredible manipulation of life size equine puppets on stage. It should not be missed. I have posted an expanded review of this play and of several other plays on my blog www.aseatontheaisle.blogspot.com.
