So if there is one show in Seoul right now that I recommend that you see it is The Marionette at the Art Hall in Building 63 (or the Yeoksam building).I was totally impressed by this performance. I have been to a few performances now and I have been disappointed with some of the venues or sound. This place however is prefect, the sound was at an excellent level with no distortion and it was not too loud.
About the show... it was very ambitious and they pulled it off. Even with very simple props and a lot of imagination the audience was amazed and moved by the dancing and surprises that this show has to offer.
The show has a very moving and touching story which is illustrated through amazingly well drawn slides and really pulls at the heart strings on occasion.
Look out for cameo's of the Ghostbusters, ET and Optimus Prime (from Transformers).
I cannot say enough good things about this show! The dancing is amazing, the visual effects (although simple) are outstanding and the story was fantastic... I was totally blown away :)
Here is a link to an article about it... I believe a single ticket is about 40,000 won but remember at 63 building you can get discounted packages to visit multiple attractions at once so you could spend a good day there. For more on Yeoksam 63 building you can check out my prior adventure there... here:

Also this week was New Years or the start of a new year. So I went to Walker Hill Hotel to celebrate in style at the Blue Spirit Dance Party. It consisted of two separate dance halls in the hotel which had special DJ and guests turn up to perform.
So here is a little taste of the action... walking from one dance hall to the other then the New Year countdown!
So until next week "Happy New Year!" have a great week and enjoy the start of something new. :)
