Great fun for all very worth the ticket price

The 45 minute show is punctual, very well produced, inexpensive, and nice depiction of Vietnamese culture. The musicians play and provide voice interpretation of puppet masters is extremely well timed for 45 minutes. The voices maintainin perfect unison with the players, and because the musicians and puppet masters follow the script in detail, the show performance is flawless. Nearly all seats are taken, so if you want good seats buy tickets early. The theater staff are courteous, well spoken, and helpful. The show is entertaining for ages from well behaved the 3yr old to 103. The only turnoff are the many people taking their phones out to record the show obstructing the view of the show for the paying customers behind them.

Great Fun! Worth the 45 minutes. You won't see anything like this somewhere else. The musicians and puppeteers were great

Only if you're in the front row!

It might have been a good experience if I could see it. I was in seat J6, so had a sea of big heads in front of me. At one point I had to tell the people in front of me to stop moving around in their seats so I could perhaps see some of the show. Not impressed!
