"Myeondong and Hongdae Nanta Theatres Opened in 1997, Nanta is the longest-running show in Korean history. Similar to Stomp , it’s a nonverbal musical that people of all ages and nationalities can understand. The comedic story follows a frantic kitchen staff as they prepare for an impending wedding banquet. In addition to impressive percussive performances with cooking equipment, the 90-minute show incorporates many opportunities for audience participation. It’s become so popular that it now plays at two theaters, one in Myeongdong and another in Hongdae. Each venue offers an afternoon and evening show, with a third added on weekends. It’s recommended that you buy tickets in advance as seats sell out quickly."

Nanta Show Review (Black Team) Absolutely hilarious and entertaining — perfect for families, especially those with teens! The musical performers were incredibly skilled, blending rhythm, humour, bit of romance and theatre seamlessly. It’s an absolute must-watch show when you’re in South Korea. Lockers are avail free of charge to store shopping bags. Strictly no photo/video when it starts. Some lucky audiences may get to be on stage. Our performance was by the Black Team, and they were fantastic! After the show, you can queue to take photos with the cast. The staff are super efficient — they’ll help use your phone or camera and snap multiple shots within seconds. A truly fun and memorable experience!

We had such an enjoyable time at the Nanta Musical Show with the Green Team. It’s a truly entertaining theatrical experience and easy to follow along. The show is almost narrativeless, yet the storyline flows seamlessly from one scene to the next; bit romance, bit comedy, bit tension. No abrupt shifts, just a smooth, rhythmic pace that keeps you fully engaged from start to finish. It was also the perfect spot to rest and unwind after all the shopping and snacking along Myeongdong Street. The audience engagement made everything even funnier, and the cast really knows how to pull everyone in. Beyond the comedy, the show also showcases elements of Korean culture, traditional drums, kitchen rhythm, food culture, and a bit of artistry woven throughout.

The talent is really amazing. Show started on time & I was impressed at how amazingly the white team performed. My biggest issue and this is really a big thing for me are the staff at the place. Firstly, the theatre was only half full- ample additional seats. I had literally moved one down, the usher had brought guests (she didn't assist my husband and I to our seats) and absolutely rudely says, move back to your seat. When the show was over, I was putting on my jacket & I can't be certain if it was the same usher or someone else but one of the ladies kept gesturing at me to leave. Mind you, it wasn't even 5 minutes after the show completed. It's absolutely cold and I wanted to wear my jacket before leaving and then she walks up to me and tells me to leave. I said to her I was just putting my jacket on and then she says to me leave. This is not how you treat guests- I was not sitting & chatting around. I will not be visiting this show or recommending this to others purely for the disrespectful nature of the ushers. I hope other guests have a better time.

Ok, I wasn't sure what to expect, wow, wow, wow!!! This show was so much fun. The sounds, the visuals, and the actors were all brilliant. I mean laugh out loud hilarious. Great show for all ages. U do not have to speak Korean to enjoy it either. U get the full jist of the shown from the beginning. The theater is very cozy with make the show even better. Im not too sure how it would be for those who may be wheelchair bound. There is an elevator, but i didn't see any area, in the actual theater, to accommodate the chairs.

The Nanta show is excellent, hilarious, and incredibly easy to follow even if you don't speak Korean. The actors are very funny and expressive. They are very energetic. My only note is that the venue got quite hot and stuffy once the theater filled up.

I booked the Nanta Show tickets through Klook and it was such a great choice! The show was full of laughs, energy, and truly talented performers — a perfect way to start my trip to Seoul. Just a heads-up: it’s not at Myeongdong Theatre but at UNESCO Nanta Show, only a few steps away. Definitely a must-do if you want a fun and memorable night out in Seoul!
