War Horse at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre
War Horse returns to London this Autumn as part of the UK and International tour, for a limited season at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre, an exciting new venue located just steps away from Wembley Stadium.
Based on the beloved novel by Michael Morpurgo, this powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness. At its heart are astonishing life-sized horses by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage.
At the outbreak of World War One, Joey, young Albert’s beloved horse, is sold to the Cavalry and shipped to France. He’s soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in no man’s land. Albert, who remained on his parents’ Devon farm, cannot forget Joey. Though still not old enough to enlist he embarks on a treacherous mission to find him and bring him home.
Public booking opens on Friday 15 February, 8.30am

London Theatre Review: War Horse at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre
I remember when War Horse first came to the stage twelve years ago. Eleven year old me read about it in ‘Pony’ Magazine and immediately wanted to go. Well, yesterday I finally got there. Brought back for a limited run at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre, War Horse makes great use of the huge space. It is one of the most unique pieces of theatre I have ever seen. The horses are huge puppets manned by three people each and the effect is amazingly believable.

Not only is autumn in full swing now, but the lead up to Halloween is here! However, in London Theatre we’re a tad more excited for the big shows that are preparing, as we speak, for when they open this month. Sets are being built and actors are in rehearsals, and our excitement is building. Read below to find out what’s opening in the West End this month…

Stalls, Dress Circle, Upper Circle: Where Should I Sit At The Theatre?
People often ask me where they should sit in a theatre. But the answer is governed by so many things, from budget, viewing angles, mobility, the theatre itself and of course personal preference, that there's no clear cut answer.
What is the difference between stage circles and stalls?
The Circle and Stalls are two different seating options in a theatre. While the stalls refer to the seats that are on the ground level of the theatre, seats in the Circle offer a slightly elevated view of the stage as they are situated on the floor above. Whether you choose to sit in the Stalls or the Circle is completely down to personal preference!
Does it matter where you sit in a theatre?
Where you sit in a theatre will likely affect your experience, but this depends on your preferences, budget and the structure of the theatre.
In general, the Stalls allow for a more intimate and personal feel due to their close proximity to the stage. Whereas the Circle offers a broader perspective as you are slightly more elevated, allowing you to appreciate the full stage.
