“It’s like they were one person. They were so in tune.”

“It was colorful and beautiful and the music was outstanding. I can’t say enough about it. I’ve never seen a show like that.”

“If this world in general had the truth ... the love, the kindness, the integrity, the honesty, all of those things, what a beautiful world we’d have.”

“The dancing was speaking for you, so to speak. It was speaking what you wanted by watching it, and it truly did.”

“I really appreciated it. ... We were amazed when the cast came out, and we thought they were four times that many. We couldn’t believe it, the choreography, the precision.”

“The girl playing the two-stringed instrument, I couldn’t believe it. She got all that music out of two strings!”

“If China were as open as they’d like to be, it would be better. ... Regardless of what your belief is, if you’re not allowed to speak about it, then that’s not a free country, and that’s sad.”

“It’s harmony, and if man lived in harmony with the music in his heart, wouldn’t it be a better world?”
