KVT – khán giả của “Romeo và Juliet” đâu rồi?

Maybe it is because of the fact that the ticket price is rather high for almost people in this difficult time :(. The ones who want to go may not afford it, the one who can afford may not pay attention to it or do not know about it.

Yes, unfortunate that Shakespeare in Vietnam (or maybe just Hanoi) did not get the kind of audience numbers it deserves. Perhaps some of the expats in question preferred to catch the penultimate round of AI on the telly. Some, like me, were probably tied up at work or something else related to work. But it’s heartening to know that many locals came to see one of the Bard’s most popular play.

The price was steep, relatively speaking, considering many shows in Hanoi are free. But, thoroughly enjoyed it, my wife and I, as well as a good number of our friends. Well worth it! Loved the music too.

Thursday’s gala performance was better attended, with a good mix of locals and expats

noooo I was crying my eyes out (ok, not really) to find out that they performed R&J only less than a week before I get home (I seriously considered ditching final weeks, graduation ceremonies and my beloved seniors, change my ticket and fly home a week early to catch the show)!!! it was very, very heartbreakingly disappointed. I [hopelessly?] wish there will be more performances of this type in Hanoi in the near future (I really want to say “this summer,” but it’s more likely we’ll have to read it as “the next few years”).

I suspect one third, if not half of the Vietnamese audience (and some of the foreigners) was my relatives and friends, haha. when I found out about it on HanoiGrapevine, I mass emailed my friends and family and basically made them go see it. I’m glad there was that one chance for them to share with me my Shakespeare and theater love.

The ticket’s price is too much for this community. Such no-profit activities’ infomation should be wide spread in all universities in Hanoi also. It is not done yet.

i really want to go but the ticket price is so high. i think many other people like me. what’s a pity!

I’m in HCMC. I’ve seen this play on a Saturday night, and the HCMC Drama Theatre was almost full (only some front-row seats were vacant). Maybe because the HCMC Drame Theatre is smaller than the Hanoi Opera House, and the shows in Hanoi were in the middle of the week. Anyway, so sad to hear that :(

It’s the borest play I’ve ever seen !
It’s not pity if u didn’t see it. Many audiences had been out before this play ended.
