“A O Show - Brilliant Depiction of Vietnamese life”

This was an excellent show that depicts Vietnamese life in a most original way. If we had 1 more night in HCMC, we would definitely have seen the show again. It came highly recommended by my niece who had watched the show earlier this year (2016). We would highly recommend this show. Only an hour long and very energetic. Well done to the cast.

Enjoyable

I don't think we completely understood the story line, however the show was very well done! It was organized, well performed and included everything from funny moments, to acrobatics, to dancing. The opera house where it is held is stunning and in a very french area of Ho Chi Minh city. I wouldn't call it a must see, but anyone who enjoys performance art will definitely appreciate it and I'm glad we went

Surprisingly fun!

This exceeded my expectations, which were not low. Both my 19-year-old daughter and I really enjoyed this 1-hour show. Though we were certainly impressed by the performers, it was less "Aaahh" and "Ooohh" for us, and more interesting, fun and entertaining.

A bit uneven, but the moments of magic alone made it worthwhile

It was a decidedly uneven performance: some moments of pure magic and at a very high level artistically, but also some numbers that are not quite so successful. Sometimes considered a Vietnamese version of the Cirque de Soleil, the troupe is not quite there yet in terms of overall technical brilliance and richness of overall experience but it more than holds its own in terms of artistry and substance for the best numbers. A bit pricey (but the Saigon Opera house is pretty small), but worth it just for the best scenes. Free drinks available before the show which is nice, but I would have preferred some program notes that will service as a momento for a memorable evening.
