Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Don't miss this performance in Yangon!
Aug. 2022
This is a wonderful 45-minute show (a little more than 60 minutes with the introduction, discussion, and taking pictures). Please don't miss this opportunity to experience an authentic traditional Myanmar theatrical performance. The show is appropriate and enjoyable for all ages. The location of the theatre is actually in a living room apartment, but that actually adds to the intimate atmosphere. The puppets (marionettes) are absolutely beautiful and imbued with so much character. The artistry exhibited by the puppet masters is top-notch. You can also arrange to have a puppet made for you, which we will certainly do!

Make sure you book. A totally unique experience and one which should be a must for both travellers and locals. The show is intimate and completely engaging. The information shared is interesting and the puppet show is fun and unbelievably skilful. I loved every moment and you won’t find a better cultural show anywhere. The right length, great value and just please go see for yourself!

Your awareness about our performance is highly appreciated and thank you very much for your visit to our very small show. We are trying our best to keep this centuries old tradition even though there are struggles in our way. We are also hoping to upgrade to contemporary puppetry from traditional and believe that will be happened in the near future. With regards, Htwe & Oo of Myanmar

Great for children
Jan. 2020 • Family
We visited with our children ages 11, 10, 8, and 5. The show length was perfect for young children. We appreciated the explanation of the puppet tradition. It was also very easy to arrange for a private show with the manager replying to emails very quickly.
