Each act is short so you won't tire easily. Many younger kids could sit and enjoy the show without getting cranky or sleepy. I was surprised to see that....

While the show is in Vietnamese we still enjoyed it without being able to understand much. The puppets were beautiful and amazing to watch. The narration and music with also enjoyable.

Was a really interesting , colourful and fun snapshot of Vietnamese culture. Kids would love it as did the grandparents sitting near us. It was fascinating to see how the puppets are operated under water. Lovely experience.

Anyone coming to HCM should see this unique cultural show. The puppet's movement looks quite restrictive and stiff but from the music, song and the special effect that the puppet can offer (eg smoking, swimming, climbing tree), it is enjoyable. The art of mastering these puppet is not easy and therefore is a must to watch.
