Seoulmates’ Valentine’s Day Date Guide: NANTA

Want to laugh with the one you love? Check out Korea’s most popular show NANTA.  NANTA means ‘Cookin’ in English, and that’s what you will witness as four hilarious chefs prepare a wedding banquet. 
NANTA has performed on Broadway and widely throughout the rest of the world.  Critiques rave over the performance, including, yours truly.  I attended the event with my parents and husband this summer and could not have been more impressed with the hilariously talented cast and show.  
NANTA is a non-verbal play that relies on rhythmic banging of pots and pans and gestures to tell the story.  (This means you don’t have to worry if you don’t speak Korean.)  It has many similarities to the popular American performance ‘Blue Man Group’ but dare I say…may be even more entertaining.
There are four theaters throughout Korea and performances run every night.  So if you are looking to be highly entertained Broadway style check out NANTA!
