Having never seen Shen Yun before, only looked at the website, I was not fully prepared for the exceptionally professional and breathtaking experience. I have never seen dancers be so graceful while maintaining near perfect unison. Each dance was entertaining. I was particularly taken with the two drum dances performed by the men and the lotus dance by the women, as well as the first soloist. I just wish I'd had the opportunity to see the traditional instruments played on stage - they sounded so lovely. Everything was perfection - from the clever backdrops to the costumes to the wonderful orchestra. You are welcome to use any and all of these comments.
On a side note - the people manning the sales booth for Shen Yun items were not well informed about what they were selling. I asked for a music CD of music like what I had just experienced, and instead got an orchestral CD filled with operatic voices and chorus. It is not at all what I would have chosen.

I saw Shen Yun on March 1 and really enjoyed it. I was in the first row - any show of this magnitude deserved my full attention - and was spellbound from beginning to end. The dance principals/ensemble, musicians, singers, costumes/costume accessories (great color selections), music, choreography and the detailed digital backdrop projection were amazing. The way an animated character on the screen was seamlessly transformed into the performer on the stage was a technique I had not seen before. The two hosts were very enlightening - even humorous - taught the audience to say "I love Shen Yun" in Chinese... "Woe I Shun Yun" (pardon spelling). The audience recited it back - great moment. I appreciate the hard work put into making this a must-see performance.Daniel White SÅG SHEN YUN I Boston (Boston Opera House), March 2014

My Wife and I had the most breathtaking experience at Shen Yun. The dancing, choreography , and reaction from the band, players was just mind numbing. I recommend that everyone who likes music and dance, should see this spectacular show. Can't wait until they return.John Schultz SÅG SHEN YUN I St. Petersburg (Mahaffey Theater), March 2014

SIMPLY AMAZED! The price of the ticket was worth it just to hear the live orchestra and the operatic performances. The large screen, digitally/interactive with the actors is simply a phenomenon! The dancing: as we learned from the narrators, (speaking in Chinese and English), the most involved number of elements with ballet of any dance on earth, was awesome! The costumes were gorgeous! Precise, in synchrony, a wonderful experience! And even more important, we were reminded that this could not be experienced in China. That is horrific.Rae SÅG SHEN YUN I Nashville (Tennessee Performing Arts Center), February 2014
