“I probably have reviewed over three to four thousand Broadway shows, which still cannot compare to what I saw tonight. I give this production 5 Stars, that's the top. It’s mind-blowing!” says Richard Connema, seasoned critic for Talkin' Broadway, USA
“The best! the best! the best!” says Charles Wadsworth, internationally acclaimed founder of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, USA
“It’s a passionate mix of culture, dance and hope. It's absolutely wonderful and profound. The sublime beauty is timeless,” says Dr. Ken Coates, dean of Arts, University of Waterloo, CA.
“Lavish production, colorful sets, dazzling costumes, brilliant choreography. Extravagantly beautiful.” says Broadway World
China was once known as the “Land of the Divine”, and its people believed their culture to be a gift from the heavens. Virtues were emphasized in daily life and the people devoted themselves to a spiritual quest. This gave traditional Chinese culture profound inner meaning.
With fresh new masterful programs highlighting the timeless consummate beauty and grandeur of China’s traditional culture and arts, a superb cast of over 100 of the world’s leading classical artists, magnificent choreography, stunning costumes, a powerful live orchestra that brings eastern and western instruments together, and state-of-the-art backdrops, Shen Yun is a "can't miss".
