Tuồng is distinct from the older hát chèo genre of Vietnamese theatre which combines dance, song and poetry, and the more modern cải lương folk musical.

The origin of tuồng is still unclear. It is believed that it was imported from China around the 13th century when Vietnam was warring against the Mongol Yuan dynasty. A famous actor named Lý Nguyên Cát (李元吉) was imprisoned by the Vietnamese. The imperial court asked him to spread his knowledge of Chinese theatre to the children of the elite, thus explaining how tuồng had first had its beginnings in Vietnam in the royal court.[4] Later on, it was adapted to travelling troupes who entertained commoners and peasants.
However, the first one to lay the foundation for the art of tuồng in Vietnam is Đào Duy Từ.[5] Under the Nguyễn dynasty which he served for, tuồng reached its highest point and was favored by Nguyễn emperors. Many great playwrights including Đào Tấn were also in this time.
Along with chèo, tuồng was one of the highly popular art forms for commoners until 20th century. With the arrival of cải lương and modern theatrics, tuong gradually lost its position.

Usually, a character's personalities can be revealed through three features: the color of the face, the eyebrows, and the beard.
