We really enjoyed this experience, the puppeteers were so clever and it was great to see them appear at the end of the show. We found the audio guide helpful to understand some of the stories. The wooden puppets were adorable. A very enjoyable hour in Hanoi.

The play was enjoyable. The traditional music was an added bonus. I would highly recommend using the audio translator.

If you are in Hanoi do not miss this show. 50 minutes well spent. I enjoyed it a lot. Great music, great show!

This is most certainly over rated, what complicates this further is that there is absolutely no prelude/explanation provided in English so while the entire show is in Vietnamese (understandably) its purely upto your creative imagination to figure out what scene is being depicted. However if you have never seen a puppet show ever in your life and you have a hour and some extra cash to spare then it is probably something you should consider to visit.
