“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 sh ...

A O Show - Lune Production

This universal Form of art is an overwhelming display of the essence of Vietnam's culture. From the begining in natural atmosphere to the noisy urban-motorcycling. Beautyful poetic and HiPro Performance.

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 ...

The show was absolutely stunning! I loved every minute and hope it will have great success in the years to come. It would also make me really happy, if luna shows can come to Europe one day, I am sure many people there will love it as much as I did!
