We are no theatre or art critics and would rather poke needles in our eyes than going to the theatre in London. This show though however was spectacular and very well organised with regards to transport back to Hoi An. The costumes and performance of the dancers were excellent and stunning. We thoroughly enjoyed the show and it was a very pleasant way to spend an evening. Another suprise was that drinks are cheaper here than the town, very much unlike the London West End. VIP tickets are certainly recommend a very comfy big seat, sheltered, complimentary water and fruit. We would certainly go again if we visit Hoi An again. A big thank you to everyone involved with the show.

Went for the show with my family in Dec 2019 not knowing what to expect since many reviews we read were mixed - but we LOVED it! It was a cultural show with a mix of - acrobatics, aerial performance, bboy dancing, beatboxing, live music (including traditional instruments) and singing, etc etc. It was very relatable despite the language barrier, they including many simple day-to-day scenarios (in the Asian context) that were humorous and entertaining. A lot of effort and thought put into the props and the way the show went.

watched Palao show in Hoi An last year September,already one year,still miss Hoi An and the show.it weaved Cham's music, legends, symbols, philosophies into contemporary dance. very creative, and it is very rare for vietnam performance group using Cham's elements into their production.so Palao is a valuable one.the male dancers remind me of Hinduism,he danced like shiva,very energetic and strong,like he want to shake the world to wake up.i also noticed they use pots during the show,pots is Cham's daily tool.and the custome is white colour,i think it is Cham's priest colour.i can feel the creative efforts done by the show creator.after the show,there is a short talktime with the performers,which is a good experience.only one thing i hope lune production will consider is like other performance in HCM and Hanoi,there is a photos taking time with the dancers,not sure why Hoi An dont have.also in my past experience in other countries(korea,japan,Taiwan and Hong Kong),the organiser will provided some printed materials bout the show,if not free,can be purchased.but it doesnt mean i wont go if Lune Production dont provide this,i will always support them if i go to vietnam.hope can go again asap.

I saw the performance because it was part of my package tour of Hội An. It's a cute little theatre venue in the center of the town. It started at 4pm if I remember well and lasted about half an hour. Not too long a show and yet you get a taste of Vietnamese culture: music and dance. It was entertaining.
