VANCOUVER, British Columbia—“Without question one of the most beautiful shows I’ve seen for a long, long while,” said Michael Evison, city counsellor for West Vancouver, after seeing Shen Yun Performing Arts at Queen Elizabeth Theatre on Saturday night.
Mr. Evison said he enjoyed all elements of the performance, including the dancing, music, and costumes, but he said the scenery and interactive displays on the show’s signature animated backdrop were “really so impressive.
“That’s not to detract from the dances, but the scenery having that lovely big screen behind with the images was most attractive. But the dances were quite exquisite.
“I’d recommend it to anybody. I have a son and some grandchildren in Calgary and the next show is in Calgary. I’m going there this weekend, and I’m going to buy them some tickets, because I think so many people in Calgary should be able to enjoy the shows that we’ve enjoyed in Vancouver.”
Mr. Evison said having the show in Vancouver contributed to the area’s cosmopolitan nature, and that it was good for Canadians to have the opportunity to embrace authentic Chinese culture.
When asked how he would rate the show, Mr. Evison exclaimed “10 out of 10!”
