Avenue Q may have made it cool for puppets to be on Broadway, but War Horse turned theatrical puppeteering into fine art. The story of Joey, an enlisted horse caught in the crossfire of the Western Front, and his young owner Albert, who embarks on a journey to find his beloved steed, comes to life thanks to magnificent equine puppets designed by the Handspring Puppet Company. War Horse won six Tony Awards in 2011, including best play and a special Tony award for the South Africanpuppet company, and also spawned 2011’s Steven Spielberg-helmed feature film. War Horse trots into town for a two-week run at the Paramount.
