“[Sitting in the fifth row,] you can see the intricacies of the costumes and how beautifully detailed they are, and the colors. It’s just gorgeous. I would notice things like that. It was very, very pretty. The colors are very vibrant, and the landscapes.”

“There is a certain sense of comfort and warmth that comes out from the stage to you. It’s the sense of hearing the music as well as seeing the performers.

You almost want to cry, but it’s a joyful cry.”
