Culuturally interesting

3.00This is kind of interesting. You learn a bit about the culture and myths and legends of Vietnam. To western ears, the music is a bit haunting, although I loved the sound of tge single string instrument that made noises like a theramin. Definitely quirky experience. The show is quite short, so even if puppets are not your thing, it's worth some of your time.
Avoidable

1.00Please avoid unless into cultural show. You don’t undertaand anything as it’s in local language. Totally avoidable. My kids left from between

5.00Although seen from all seats because the theater is small, it looks much better from the front rows (in the back rows, if you play someone tall in front you are lost, and both musicians and puppets look better up close)
Disappointing service great show

4.00The no queuing bit is a bit of a scam. We had to wait for the agency man to come and deliver the tickets, he was late and didn’t have the VIP tickets. We were given other tickets higher up on the theatre that luckily as is very small theatre it was ok. The show is great and worth seeing but just book normal tickets.
