must see
A must-see in Hanoi! Our flight changed due to the weather, and the staff immediately helped us reschedule. Even on a busy weekend, we got great seats with a good view. The music was incredible and the puppets were so vivid and full of life. Excellent service and a wonderful performance—we really enjoyed it!

Such a fun surprise
We didn’t know what to expect, and it was fascinating, fun and so different from other events. The music, the set, the puppets and the puppeteers were all great.
S
Perfect show
The show was amazing and showcased the Vietnamese culture very well.The seats were comfortable and the ticket prices were value for money.Foreigners should buy the audio headset to make sure they understand the show.
E

A cultural experience. Worth getting the VIP ticket. Music and singers were phenomenal. Interesting story.

A must when visiting Hanoi
That was interesting, but in the end too long...
N
Worth a watch
The music and puppetry were really good and nice to see traditional art form. We knew we wouldn’t follow the story of the show however it was rather bizarre!
M
Entertaining puppet show
Nice and colorful musical performance. We were comfortably seated and could watch perfectly the show. However, because we don't understand Vietnamese, we were just trying to guess what the story was about. We would have enjoyed it more if we had been able to download a presentation of the story in English.
