“I am so happy for everybody that put this show together, that they can bring this to the Western world. We really need this,” Ms. Lippa said.

“So you have musicians, the orchestra, you have the dancers, which are world-class, because I have been to different shows in my life. I have never seen this type of dancing; this is incredible. It’s like they said it’s a mixture of the culture of China, but also it can compete with the whole world,” Ms. Lippa said.

“When I saw the dancers, one particular female dancer—she was divine—she could be from another world—angelic. She’s talented at this aerial move—your whole body is suspended in the air. When she did that move, you didn’t hear anything [when she landed]. How is that possible?” Ms. Lippa wondered.

One dance that left the deepest impression on Ms. Lippa told the true story of Falun Dafa practitioners following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Despite their goodness, they are being persecuted for their faith in present-day China.

“The tears started flowing when they did the scene about the persecution of the members of the Falun Gong.”

“This is my first time ever, and I will definitely attend every single year from now,” she shared.

“[Shen Yun] wasn’t just a performance and a show that you pay for. It was an interactive, divinely guided, inspired, celestial experience. Only the human being that comes here can know what this will heal within them,” she said.

“The soprano singer was a WOW,” Ms. Lippa said.

“An atheist can still appreciate the level of talent and how much hard work it takes as a dancer—that’s world-class,” she said.

“Whether you believe something or you don’t, you should never close your heart to Shen Yun. You can literally see with your eyes the costumes, the colors, the dancing, the ability, the singing, the music, talent—there’s so much,” she added.
