“It was a magnificent performance today. I have been wanting to see Shen Yun for literally the last 10 or 12 years. I used to live in New York. … I never got around to seeing it, and so I was really excited to get to see it here in Atlanta.”

“I found it very inspiring, breathtaking, beautiful, funny, very touching, and very thought-provoking. It makes me want to … learn more about Shen Yun.”

“The important messages ... really resonated with me.”

“I think one of the central messages is hope—making sure that people have hope and things to look forward to in the world. Also, I think spirituality must be a very important message of the performance today.”

“I have a lot of respect for the effort of Shen Yun, trying to bring back traditional Chinese culture. So those of us who may not be that familiar with [the culture] will now be exposed to it and can learn more about these beautiful traditions.”
