Mr. Miller, Empire Entertainment executive producer said, “I enjoy it a lot.” after attending the Divine Performing Arts (DPA) Chinese New Year Splendor at Radio City Music Hall on Sunday, Jan. 25.

Mr. Miller is the co-founder of Empire Entertainment, an Emmy Award-winning producer with over two decades experience as a producer and representative of the interests of major corporations in all areas of the entertainment industries. Since co-founding Empire Entertainment in 1993, Miller has served as co-President of the firm.

When talking about the DPA he said, “I’ve actually come almost every year since it started.”

“It just keeps growing, and becomes a bigger and bigger spectacle every year.” he added.

 “I think it’s colorful, I love the way they’ve learned to use technology more with the LCD screens here, it really adds a lot to the performance.”

State-of-the-art animated and static backdrops enrich a repertoire of ancient and modern themes played out in each performance; majestic palaces, sprawling Mongolian plains, rustic temples, cascading clouds, and more.

“I also think this Radio City Music Hall is just the most extraordinary theatre in the world. You can’t do this (DPA) with any stage … stages like this doesn’t exist anywhere else.” said Mr. Miller.

“This is a challenging year to be working on productions like this, and it’s a tribute to everybody that they continue to grow this production year on year.”

Mr. Miller commented that the Chinese New Year Splendor is a spectacle saying,

“I don’t know how many hundreds of performers are involved in this. But between the musicians, the performers, the number of costume changes, the extent of the lighting, the writing, the effects, there's almost no show like this anywhere.”

Mr. Miller holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Television & Film from New York University's Tisch School For The Arts (also earning the distinction of University Honors Scholar) and a Masters degree in Business Administration (MBA) in International Marketing & Negotiation from the New York University Stern School of Business.

The response to DPA’s productions has been phenomenal. Laughter, tears, and standing ovations are a common sight. In its inaugural 2006-2007 season the company performed for some 200,000 people. In 2007-2008, the number swelled to 600,000.
