War Horse Reviews

SIMPLY THE BEST

The film was pretty good but if you haven't seen the stage production of Warhorse, you haven't seen the real thing. I defy anybody to watch this stunning show and not be amazed by the skill and total believability of the puppeteers - truly superb recreations of magnificent animals. Catch the show at the Fisher before it moves on - you won't regret it.

A MAGICAL SHOW

We attend the theater regularly - WAR HORSE is a theatrical experience!! From the puppetry to the acting to the production - DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW. I'm not sure there will be another like it in my lifetime.

WAR HORSE INDIGENOUS CHARACTERS A DISAPPOINTMENT

Went to see War Horse last night at the Queen E. The handspring puppets were magical! I am still marveling at what they accomplished which was make the audience believe a 1000 lbs. horse is alive on the theater stage. Disappointing were the casting of some of the characters, particularly that of the young French girl.......what were the directors thinking when they cast a girl of obvious Chinese descent. Yes, she was a very good actress but that did not take away from the fact that she is supposed to be a french girl living in the countryside during WW1! This aside, the play was very good.

Loved War Horse-Disappointed in Staff from Chicago, Illinois

GREAT SHOW-POOR STAFF AT THE CADALLIC PALACE

War Horse deserves a 5+ as a show. It is outstanding. The staff at the Cadallic Palace needs a lot of improvement. With many patrons being elderly, the patience and assistance of the staff leaves a lot to be desired. On a very cold day, patrons were left in a very cold venue and after the show the staff showed little patience with patrons who needed assistance or to sit while waiting for cars. The staff was more concerned about clearing the theater for the next performance versus caring about their current patrons. The show is outstanding but for ticket price-I expect a staff that is helpful, pleasent and caring (especially about the elderly patrons who need assistance). Do yourself a favor management staff-improve your staff and improve your restroom situation. What a disaster to wait for so long to use a restroom. Come on Chicago-you can do better for your patrons!

WAR HORSE - NOT MUCH OF A STORY

The puppets were fabulous for sure. I have tickets very close to the stage and yet I missed a lot of the dialogue. The story was not particularly engaging and seemed to be a device to feature the puppets. Lion King it is not. aevand

NOT FOR CHILDREN

Too intense, dark, and depressing. Great job on the horses. Could't wait till it was over.

MORE LIKE 'SNORE HORSE'

Amazing puppet - horrible show - left at intermission. The best cast member was a Goose puppet. If the show were 15 minutes long - OK - but beyond that - no way.
