Also in the audience was Suzanne Gooda, a former ballerina, who performed for the National Theatre, before moving to London where she performed in musicals, including My Fair Lady.
At intermission, Ms. Gooda who now works as an accountant, expressed her experience of Shen Yun.
“Very colourful. Excellent singing,” she said. “I can see the excellent training behind it. As a chorus they’re extremely well trained. You can see that, that’s obvious. I am extremely impressed. I think it is very good.”
She also enjoyed the digital backdrops and the interplay between stage and screen.
“I like the use of the backdrop with the computer work. I think that was extremely well done and very interesting, I'd never seen that done before.”
