And you’re right, he did a fine job. I just had an easier time believing the horses were real than believing he was 16 years old. 26, maybe.

I can understand you giving “star” billing to the horses, but I think Michael Wyatt Cox deserves more credit than he gets here. In a show with so many one-dimensional characters shouting their lines, he gives Albert a three-dimensional, sweet personality that grounds the whole production. I found it hard to take the whole show seriously because it seemed so overdramatic to the point of parody, but his scenes with his mother, and with Joey the horse, brought a quiet and lively humanity to the show.
