Whether you’ve read the book, seen the movie, or had a chance to take in the original play on stage, “War Horse” is a story that everyone can relate to on some level. And now, it’s coming to the Paramount Theatre in Seattle for just over one week in February of 2013.

The story follows a young boy, Albert Narracott, during the time when World War I is just starting to erupt. After watching the birth of a young foal, which becomes the “War Horse” throughout the rest of the story, Albert immediately feels a special connection to the horse and names him “Joey.” The audience gets to watch as Albert trains the horse and the boy and the animal bond in a very special relationship. However, things go awry when Albert’s father can no longer pay rent on the land he uses for his farm, and the horse is sold.

While the play has been showing on Broadway for the past year at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre, and the movie was just released last December, “War Horse” the stage adaptation will be going to Seattle in February 2013. Individual tickets won’t be on sale until the fall of 2012, but some War Horse tickets will be available on StubPass.com as early as this March.
