Top ways to experience Myeongdong NANTA Theater and similar attractions

The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Myeongdong / Namdaemun
Arguably Seoul’s most famous neighbourhood and undoubtedly one of its most popular, Myeongdong takes shopping and eating to new heights, with hundreds of shops, restaurants, and cafes all stacked on top of one another. The rise in popularity of Korean cosmetics, fashion, and more has made this area a must-see for visitors who come and marvel at Myeongdong’s often frenetic pace and energy. Lotte and Shinsaegae’s massive department stores are also popular draws for both Korean and luxury products. The department stores, just like Myeongdong’s streets, are crowded around the clock. Myeongdong’s many street food carts are also immensely popular for their inexpensive and quirky offerings (French-fry-encrusted corn dogs, anyone?). The neighbourhood’s popularity, as well as its close proximity to other popular sights and neighbourhoods, makes it one of Seoul’s most popular places to stay.

Brilliant show! Well worth it

We weren’t sure what to expect from Cookin’ Nanta we anticipated slapstick comedy and people shouting which isn’t far from what it was. They really built a good story and had some hilarious bits in there, there was crowd involvement as well.

All in all a really fantastic show and highly recomiendes if you want something different to do in Seoul.

hilarious! Non verbal performance. Exaggerating gestures and comical facial expressions make the show suitable for both young kids and adults. The cast was able to respond quickly to the audience reactions to various parts of the skit. Great work!

Great show

This is my second time to watch NANTA show. I bring my little one with me this time. He enjoyed it so much, and ranked it as his most favorite activity of his holiday in Seoul. Thank you for the great performance by the black team!

Somewhat entertaining
Dec. 2019 • Family
After the opening of the show which began with a slow performance, things got interesting when the cast started cooking. It was hilarious at some parts but the actions were repetitive and the chopping/cooking scenes were not exciting. I would not recommend making a special trip to watch the show.

Unbelievable Performance, thumbs up!
Dec. 2019 • Family
First time to attend a performance in a foreign country, not knowing what to expect. But you don't need to understand Korean in order to appreciate this show. The actors/actress was very professional, talented, and hilarious. Our family had a good 90-minute laugh and blast! Highly recommended for anyone who's in for a good humour :) The crew is to be commended, bravo!

Fantastic show!
Dec. 2019 • Family
This show was so entertaining, in every way! It is funny, has great music and rhythm, lights, and surprises. Everything is mostly nonverbal so any language can understand it. This was my family’s highlight of our trip!

Nanta Show - Cook at Myeongdong Theatre
Dec. 2019 • Family
Absolutely fun and very interactive international show. Small cozy theater which allow the audience to interact well with the performer. The show and performers are legendary themselves.

It is an entertaining show! My husband and mom watched it on our free day in Seoul. We got the black team. Very skilled and talented actors and actresses. No regrets on this :)
