Donna Evick, a retired Vice President of Key Bank was in the audience as well. “I think the costumes are fabulous; the dancing is over the top and the scenery, backdrop screen, was wonderful. The way they make the people disappear and come back out,” she said.
Shen Yun is known for its animated backdrops that show figures flying through the air on the screen and then come to life as real performers on stage.
She also enjoyed the two emcees who introduced each piece, explaining Chinese culture and history.
“It’s very interesting. They’re coming out and explaining what is going on and then just following the history through; it’s very interesting.”
The history may have caught Ms. Evick’s attention, but Andy Freimuth, a retired nurse, enjoyed it’s lighter side. “It’s playful. It’s enjoyable,” he remarked.
“It’s a beautiful performance. The costumes are outstanding,” he said.
