Good show spoilt by bad audience members
Show is presented in Vietnamese which is ok but makes it difficult for tourists to follow the stories. Audience seem to be allowed to record the show on their phones. This is extremely annoying for others who are just trying to watch the show. It's a shame that selfish people spoil the chance for others to enjoy the excellent puppetry on show.

Be cautious with ticket collection arrangements
The ticket delivery experience was a nightmare. We elected to have our tickets delivered to our hotel to ensure a smooth process. but……. After double checking and being reassured that our tickets were delivered a day ahead of our booking we arrived at our hotel in the day of the show to be informed the tickets were not delivered. Our hotel rang the ticket office to be told that our tickets were being held at the ticket office. We had less than 10mins to get from the hotel to the ticket office to collect and when we arrived (after running the whole way) we were told our tickets needed to be collected from the third party booker - Viator, 5 mins before the show. We had purchased VIP tickets which were advertised as line skipping so we don’t understand that. We were unable to get our tickets until 1min prior to the show!!!! Totally disappointing. The puppet show its self was lovely and well worth viewing. Just be very careful about ticket collection arrangements and check continuously. Our ticket experience caused undue stress and dampened our experience. Noting communication about our ticket collection issues was responded to post show and we were told that they had our show date as the following day and that was their reason. Funny thing is the chat thread actually has the date and time of booking in the subject line so this excuse is not justified. We also had communication that our tickets were being dropped to the hotel the day prior to our booking.
Operator response
Dear Mr/Mrs Jacqueline Meaney, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback regarding your recent ticket collection experience. We sincerely apologize for the stress and frustration this situation caused prior to your show. Following a careful investigation of your booking details and confirmations, we would like to clarify the arrangement for your service. The specific option booked was for ticket pickup either directly at the theater or at our office located at 31 Lo Su, Hoan Kiem. Our operations team had also sent an email confirmation stating that the tickets would be available for collection at these locations. However, we completely understand that the product title and description options on Viator may have led to a different expectation. Please rest assured that we are currently reviewing and revising our product titles and online option descriptions to ensure they are perfectly clear and to prevent any future misunderstandings. We deeply regret the inconvenience, confusion, and rush this caused you on the day of the event. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the puppet show itself, but we genuinely apologize that the collection process dampened your overall experience. Thank you for your patience and for helping us improve our services. Warm regards, Charming Vietnam Travel Team

Fun show
Really entertaining. Well worth seeing

Overselling tickets?
The show itself was great! Entertaining and fun. Yes touristy, but we are tourists here and loved it. I suspect Charming Vietnam oversells the tickets as we paid using the Viator app then almost immediately got a WhatsApp message from Charming asking if we could change the time of our booking; we could not, so we attended the next day instead. Getting the tickets at the theatre was also somewhat confusing but it all worked out and we enjoyed the show! I removed one star for the ticketing issues.
