MADISON,Wis.—China’s vast array of stories and legends wowed audiences in Madison, the capital of Wisconsin, as Shen Yun Performing Arts played on Wednesday evening.
Rudy Lienau, the vice president of operations a the Overture Center for the Arts, where Shen Yun played, said that he had “seen things like that before,” but he'd “never seen it done this well.”
“I really enjoyed the show; it was totally unexpected,” he said, noting that he likely sees more than 100 shows per year. “I walk in here and knew nothing about classical Chinese dance” and he felt that after seeing Shen Yun, he'd be able to discern good Chinese dance from bad because the bar was set so high with Shen Yun. “It’s awesome—tremendous.”
