Stage 5B: Children's Play & Magic — Nao Dong Rung Co Tich (Uproar in the Fairytale Forest)

   A forest where wit and courage matter more than muscle is worth showing a child at least once. On a small Saigon stage the fairy tale unfolds up close — actors perform a few steps from your seat, the magic happens in plain sight, and the whole room sings and plays along.

   In brief:
— staged by People's Artist My Uyen (Mỹ Uyên), who also performs
— live songs, games and real magic woven into the action
— a story drawn from Vietnamese folk legends
— built for young children: brisk, with no dragging scenes

   On stage is People's Artist My Uyen (Mỹ Uyên), the theatre's production head and one of its leading actresses, alongside director and actor Minh Quoc (Minh Quốc). The cast also features Khanh Dang (Khánh Đăng), Huynh Nhu (Huỳnh Nhu), Ky Thien Canh (Kỳ Thiên Cảnh) and a group of child performers. The play was written by Vuong Huyen Co (Vương Huyền Cơ).

   Seating is a single GA zone at 290 000 VND — a spot in the intimate hall where every trick and every expression reads clearly.

   The show is aimed at preschool and early-school children and their parents. Little Nhan passes the trials of Wisdom, Courage, Beauty and Perseverance, and with him the young audience unpacks simple lessons about kindness, friendship and honesty threaded through familiar folk stories.

   Tickets — tickets on ticketbox.vn; the hall is small and good seats go early.

   Bring your child somewhere a fairy tale can be touched, not just watched.
