WARHORSE coming to Chicago December 2012
“A LANDMARK THEATER EVENT”
-Time
Magazine
WINNER OF FIVE TONY® AWARDS
INCLUDING BEST PLAY
COMING TO CHICAGO
DECEMBER 2012
The National Theatre’s
epic WAR HORSE, winner of five
2011 Tony® Awards including Best Play, will come to Chicago
this December for a limited three-week engagement from
Dec. 18, 2012 – Jan. 5, 2013
at the Cadillac Palace
Theatre (
151 W. Randolph St .).
Michael
Morpurgo’s novel, War Horse,
is also the inspiration for Steven Spielberg’s feature film of the same name,
which has garnered six Oscar nominations including Best Picture.
Hailed
by The New York Times as
“theatrical magic,” WAR HORSE
is the powerful story of young Albert’s beloved horse, Joey, who has been
enlisted to fight for the English in World War I. In a tale the New York Daily News calls
“spellbinding, by turns epic and intimate,” Joey is caught in enemy
crossfire and ends up serving both sides of the war before landing in no
man’s land. Albert, not old enough to enlist, embarks on a treacherous mission
to find his horse and bring him home. What follows is a remarkable tale of
courage, loyalty and friendship, filled with stirring music and songs and told
with the some of the most innovative stagecraft of our time.
The
tour of WAR HORSE, based on the
beloved novel by Michael Morpurgo
and adapted by Nick Stafford, will
be directed by Bijan Sheibani based on
the original Tony® Award-winning
direction by Marianne Elliott and Tom Morris, and presented in association
with Handspring Puppet Company. At the heart of the show are life-sized puppets
which bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage.
In
addition to Best Play, WAR HORSE received
Tony® Awards for
Best Direction of a Play (Marianne Elliott
and Tom Morris), Best Scenic Design
of a Play (Rae Smith), Best
Lighting Design of a Play (Paule Constable),
and Best Sound Design of a Play (Christopher
Shutt). A Special Tony Award was given to Handspring Puppet Company
for their integral work on the production.
The
tour will rehearse and preview at Boise
State University ’s
Morrison Center
in Idaho before beginning performances at the
Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles ,
June 13 - July 22, 2012. Planned tour stops for the 2012-2013 season include San
Francisco, Dallas, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, East Lansing, Tampa
and several others to be announced at a later date.
WAR HORSE received its World Premiere in a limited engagement at
the National’s Olivier Theatre in 2007. The play returned to the National
Theatre for a second run playing from in 2008-2009 before transferring to the
West End ’s New London Theatre in Spring 2009 where
it continues to play an open-ended run. WAR
HORSE has been seen by
almost 2 million people
worldwide.
The lead producers of the National
Tour of WAR HORSE are Bob Boyett
and the National Theatre of Great Britain.
Lincoln
Center Theater and the National Theatre of Great Britain in association with
Bob Boyett, are the producers of the American premiere of WAR HORSE, which opened April 14 at the
Vivian Beaumont Theater where it is currently playing an open-ended run. Future
productions of WAR HORSE are
planned for Australia and
South Africa ,
as well as a UK Tour.

Nolan’s lively direction and choreography…make the most of it.”

storybook-brought-to-life adventure combines just the right amount of music and
comedy with themes that audiences of every age can learn from.”
