HOUSTON, Texas—Financial adviser Elisa Nieto had wanted for years to see Shen Yun Performing Arts. On Dec. 26, at the Jones Hall for the Performing Arts, she was elated to finally get her chance.
“I kept seeing advertisements all the time and thought, ‘You know what, I really want to go.’ So, this year, I [came with] my three girls,” said Ms. Nieto.
“The performance was amazing and filled with so many different things. I loved it. The way everything worked together—it was just seamless. Very amazing. It’s one of those things you have to see. You can tell people all day long about it, but [they] have to experience it themselves.”
“The show was very uplifting and even though the singing [was in Chinese,] you can read the lyrics. I wish I could have taken a picture—they were very enlightening. This is a great way to get kids to open their minds and experience different things.”
“This message is super important and a lot of people don’t realize that,” Ms. Nieto said.
She added that people once thought Noah was “crazy” for building a boat and believing that there would be a flood, yet he was telling the truth, and in this modern day, it is again time for people to find salvation.
She added that she believes there is a “savior” and that the “end is coming.”
“The Creator, whatever your higher power is, he shows up … and he finds a way and I think. He did on that screen for a lot of people,” Ms. Nieto said.
“I’m pretty sure a lot of people saw that, read the words, and were probably stopping right where they are at, thinking, ‘Oh my God, what am I doing? Am I saved?' And maybe they’ll go home and consider it and maybe even find a place to go and figure out how to get their salvation.”
“The show was perfect, and I’ll definitely be back again next year.”
