Very interesting show in a great atmosphere. Beware of moskitoes and if you have back problems seats are not so great. Apart from this, would recommend the show to anyone there. Funny, entertaining, semi professional. Great. There is not much cultural events going on in phnom penh, so do not miss out on this one. More

While spening 3 days in Phnom Penh (2.-4.March 2012) this show was our personal highlight! The dance group showing traditional Apsara-dances seemed very professional and well-coordinated.
