Ms. Klamer affirms, “I love it. … I could see the orchestra, and now I could appreciate them more when you can see them playing.”
She commented on other aspects of the show: “The costumes, and the ladies, they’re so beautiful, all of them. And the men are so light on their feet, and they dance really high.
“I like the backgrounds, the backdrops.“ She also praised the piano player, ” She’s really excellent.”
Ms. Klamer described the show’s hosts as an the informative aspect of Shen Yun. “I think it’s very, very helpful, and our narrator, the man, he also educates us.
