Has anyone been to see it?

I have been given tickets to go see it at The Lowry on 31st Dec and dont want to have to deal with the traffic coming out of Manchester if it is not very good.

Really enjoyed the book.

In reply to cfer:
Yep, its excellent. Absolutely worth the Traffic.

In reply to cfer:

Quite simply the best piece of theatre I have seen.

You know the story, but the stage show is something else entirely.

It really is a fantastic example of theatre "magic". The puppets are fantastic, within a few minutes you don't really notice the puppeteers, and the lighting is excellent.

I've seen it twice, and second time round I saw things I had missed in the first sitting.

You won't be disapointed.

In reply to cfer:
I'm sure you will enjoy it as everyone does.
I saw it in New York last year however, and we were a little bored by it. May have been the badly executed accents or maybe it just didn't travel well

In reply to cfer:


It's worth every minute you'll spend sat in traffic.
jk

In reply to cfer:

It is absolutely brilliant - best theatre I have seen. I saw it with my daughter a while ago, and am seeing it again in a couple of weeks' time by dint of wriggling in as a parent helper on my son's school trip. NB take tissues.

In reply to cfer:

Yep, it's very good. As a keen, and some would say experienced, horseman, I was most stunned with how well they 'got' equine body-language.

Enjoy!
