    The traditional Burmese puppet show includes 27 characters, although all characters are not on stage at the same time, it still needs a lot of performers for a show. In the 1920s, the appearance of cinemas in Myanmar is the reason why there are few puppet theatres in Myanmar, and Htwe Oo Myanmar Puppet Show became special. Except Htwe Oo Myanmar Puppet Show lasting about 1 hour, you can only find short puppet shows in other theatres.
