“I’m loving the performance! ... It’s very educational for me. We get so conditioned today, to be entertained by Hollywood, where you go in and sit down and they have the movies. This is a new experience for me. This is real art, real culture. It is very informative. I’m learning so much about the Chinese culture that I didn’t know.”

“With this, you have the beauty, the culture, the color, the music. It’s all live. It’s the real thing, it’s the real art ... These are real artists, people who have a tremendous amount of talent, and I’m enjoying it.”

“I’m hoping that maybe this performance will help bring Americans, the USA, up to a better understanding of what’s going on [in China] and maybe we can implement a little change.”
