It Was Beautiful - It was beautiful. The the puppetry was amazing, the puppets were stunning and the ‘soundtrack’ provided by the singers/musicians was more than perfect. This show was so terrific both my partner will carry this memory home with us. Thank you.

worth it - It's a very original type of performance, very unique. I know some people complained there's no English translation, but personally I didn't deem it essential. You still get the gist and anyway it's a pleasure to observe the colours, the actions, the musiciancs... we aprreciated it very much.

Puppet Show’s Fireee! - Absolute must see. Traditional live orchestra, intricate puppet display with an easy to understand plot (though in Vietnamese), and very comfortable seating. This show made our trip for us. Fire!

Awesome water puppet show - Very good show with live music and narration by a talented crew. Very entertaining and enjoyable for all ages. The only thing is that the bathroom needs an exhaust fan.

Water puppet show - A cute way to spend a couple of hours. The show was fully in Vietnamese but it was still enjoyable to watch. It was a small theatre so the views were really good.
