“The show was magnificent! It was beautiful!” said Tony Lacko, a retired accountant. “You can’t put it in words you have to see it and feel it. It is a wonderful tribute to the true Chinese culture,” said Mr. Lacko.

“We heard about the show at our library. They had a tea ceremony presentation and spoke to us about the show. We bought tickets and I am not sorry we did. I would love to see it again,” he added.

Shen Yun’s mission is to revive 5,000 years of Chinese culture by bringing together world-class dancers, choreographers, singers, and musicians from around the world.

Irina Olecko, owner of a medical billing business, said, “The show was just stunning. I loved everything about it. I want to bring my kids next year.

“I came from a communist country in Europe [Poland] and we went through exactly what the Chinese people are going through now.”

Tas Abbasi, wife of a cardiologist, said, “I can’t even tell you, it is the most beautiful thing. I recently had surgery on my shoulder and this was the most wonderful thing I experienced since. I mean it’s such a beautiful [show] that I can’t even describe. The way they move, it’s just out of this world.”

Shen Yun Performing Arts, based in New York, has three touring companies that perform simultaneously around the world, with a mission to revive traditional Chinese culture.
