I just read the poor review from 2005 that thought they were amateurs. Sorry, but have to disagree. It is a beautiful mix of acrobats, percussion, story line and comedy. Everytime we have seen the show (4 so far), we left in a joyous mood, except sore from laughing. Brave enough I took my boss and his wife there when... more

I think the Nanta Theater is best described as a Las Vegas show with non-verbal performance. Since first presented on stage in 1997, Nanta has been developed into a must-see performance in Korea. The “Nanta” show to me, really easy and quick to understand FYI (this is the official Korea Tourism guide site) http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/SI/SI_EN_3_1_1_1.jsp?cid=268151 more

Fun!

My husband and I have been living in Seoul about 8 months and had heard a couple good reviews about Nanta. Tonight, we decided to go on a whim and ended up getting the last 2 tickets for the night. We saw the "blue" group... the show rotates between about 5 different sets of performers. This group had good chemistry... more

We went to Nanta at the Gangbuk Theater on a Tuesday night with the "black" actors troupe performing (the troupes are color coded). The theater was a little hard to find from the subway but people were helpful in pointing out the way. The show was hilarious - just sit back and enjoy the simple & fun humor. It was... more

I attended a performance at the Nanta Theatre in Seoul during a Study Tour there in July. It was a evening of laughter even though there were few words. We laughed through the entire show and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. It was similar to the Blue Man Group in Boston only with a cooking theme. Kudos go to the actors... more

I saw the Nanta performance last night and must say that the previous reviewer is being a bit harsh. The percussion performances were actually quite impressive, particularly given the fact that knives - and sharp ones at that - were used for many of them. Looking around every now and then during the performance, it seemed both young and old... more

My wife and I attended the Nanta "Cookin'" performance expecting Stomp in the kitchen-- a group of frenzied percussionists drumming captivating beats on real Korean dishes. What we got was a bunch of amateur actors trying to fit cheap gags into a feeble attempt at a plot with a few mediocre percussion numbers and vegetables thrown in. It is not... more
