Sans Famille - a masterpiece by French writer Hector Malot, a work that has captivated millions of readers around the world for over a century - is now vividly and attractively presented in the language of musical theater.

Sans Famille Musical - Creative take on classics

With a duration of just over an hour, the creative team has skillfully distilled the best from the original work.

On the opening night of May 30 at the Youth Theater, hundreds of children were delighted and excited to enter the magical and compassionate world of adventure of the boy Remi since he was sold by his adoptive father to a traveling circus of Mr. Vitalis.

The children not only closely followed Remi's footsteps as he toured everywhere, witnessing him go through hardships, poverty, and loss to gradually grow up and finally find his biological parents, but also innocently embarked on that journey with innocent and enthusiastic interactions.

Director - Meritorious Artist Le Anh Tuyet and screenwriter Bui Hong Que cleverly inserted interesting interactions for the children into the play, such as letting them practice singing with Remi...

The stage under the hands of artist Dang Minh Tuan, sometimes the splendor of luxurious Paris, sometimes the poetry of a 19th century French countryside, sometimes the majesty of French nature...

And the beautifully invested costumes, designed by Hoang Tung - Hoang Hoe, also contributed greatly to the success of the musical.

The musical's most successful point is its creatively updated music from classical works and its carefully crafted Vietnamese lyrics.

The talented young cast is increasingly perfecting their acting, singing, and dancing skills at the same time, something that Vietnamese actors have not been professionally trained in theater and film schools.
