Nha Trang has a few show options: the water puppet theatre Life Puppets (Rối Mơ) is the most recommended — 40–50 min, no language barrier. The Chum show is less impressive. Book tickets online in advance.
What the community said
The Life Puppets water puppet theatre (Rối Mơ) runs 40–50 minutes with almost no dialogue, so there's no language barrier. Filming is not allowed. Buy tickets in advance on the official website (payment via QR code) and arrive at least 30 minutes early to get good seats.

Go to the cable car early in the morning to skip the queues. You can skip the island show and leave early to avoid crowds on the return trip.

The Chum show lasts about 40 minutes but is hard to follow without context. It's okay as a one-time curiosity, but other shows in Nha Trang are generally more enjoyable.
