We went to see War Horse on Wednesday night in NYC.  Whenever I told people that’s what we were going to see, I got a quizzical look like “Isn’t that super horribly dark and sad?”  The thing about live theater is that, yes it was a sad and serious story but the artistic vision was so captivating that it almost didn’t matter what the story was about.  I was completely enthralled by the puppets.  Yes, life sized horse puppets each requiring 3 puppeteers.  They were so real and so beautiful.  To those puppeteers, my hat is off to you and I am in awe of your performances.

These are of course not my images since you can’t take photos in the theater, but they each link to articles about the puppets and the show.
