The show was really great! A lot of special effects and the costumes were amazing! We highly recommend.

IMO, any ticket category will do, you can see well from any spot.

Hundreds of local people, families gathered to see the show because it's national holiday.
Private transfar from Hanoi town 30-40 min.

Swow was nice.
50-70 artists perform on huge creative stage with lazer beams.
Conbination of traditional musical & puppet show.
Should take seat right front of the stage for better view.

I expected performances with taste of spectacle, adventure and thrill, but this is not a circus. Can't including everything at once.

Fee is 15-20 USD higher than that for local people including transfer service from down town Hanoi.
No tour guide. Car driver even doesn't know the name, what kind of show he is bringing customers to. But it doesn't matter for me.
Foreign people price with double standard is common in Vietnam, so it's not surprising.
Next time I will try to get it by local agency.

Through my own fault what could have been disastrous turned out to be a great evening! I was late getting to my hotel for pickup but was told to stay where I was and the driver would come get me. The new pickup was a little confusing in the midst of the weekend festivities in Old Quarter, but the driver was relentless and managed to find me and then drive me 45 minutes to get to the show. I missed the buffet but made it in time for the show with a great seat to view and out of the rain. Afterwards, the driver was waiting on me to take me directly to my room. Great job all around!

The organisers did a great job! They were in contact with us to set up the pick up details and even upgraded us to private transfer. The ticket was sent electronically and once we arrived at the venue we exchanged it to a paper one. The area where the play is based is huge, really beautifully arranged. We had Premium seats the area is covered and they give you water, sweets and watermelon, but really the better view is with the lower grade tickets are so no need to go for the expensive ones. The play was great!! We understood a lot of it because previously we saw the Water Puppet show with audio guide and this show presents as well a lot if the Vietnamese culture.

Absolutely worth seeing. You will not be disappointed. I would certainly go back to watch. Performances and lighting display world class. Tour guide (Ban?) Was also very professional and friendly. She did a great job. Keep up the wonderful service.

We were so impressed with the energy and spectacle of this event. We had seen a similar performance in China. Both were excellent but my husband and I agreed that this one was by far the more entertaining. The high energy, spectacular lighting and amazing cast made this one of the most memorable performances we have seen anywhere in the world.
Special mention to our guide Loan who made sure we knew exactly where to be at all times and helped us get a taxi back to our hotel at the end of the evening. She made sure the driver knew exactly where to take us. Very helpful for us since most taxi drivers don't speak English.

Amazing cultural experience would recommend to anyone. The Show is put on by the local people, they really seem to put their love for the people and culture of Vietnam into the performance regardless of how big the crowd is.
