An outstanding visual presentation is now at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts through May 19. War Horse is one of the rare theatrical productions you won't want to miss. If you don't see it here, it will be at the Kravis Center next season and if you do see it in Broward, you will want to see it again. The staging of the massive intricately and delicately designed choreography is best seen from seats farther back from the stage to get the full visual effects of the puppetry of the horses and the special effects. Telling the story of a young boy in England and his horse Joey who is shipped off to France in World War I, it will bring tears to your eyes as the interaction between horse and master is growing apparent, as is the growth of Joey from a young foal to a full grown horse. The imaginative, dramatic saga is bolstered by a large cast of 24 all working in tandem with each other. Tickets range from $39.50 to $79.50 and can be purchased by calling 954.462.0222 or visiting www.browardcenter.org.
