Great to see War Horse is celebrating its 2000th performance in the West End with a series of eye catching photo opportunities including Joey, the main “horse” from the show taking a trip on the London eye!
Shame the Metro described him as “mechanised”. The real glory of these extraordinarily life size puppets is there’s nothing mechanised or animatronic about them. The beautifully co-ordinated and very realistic horse movements are achieved in a gloriously low-tech way simply by having a team of puppeteers lugging the leather and wicker frames around the stage.
