Shen Yun Tickets

This was well worth 4 hour drive to see this show. My son and I had a most wonderful time at the show. This was just a great way to tell a story, through dance. Like hula, stories were told using dance and it was so well done. I would recommend this show to anybody

It gets a 1 star because I give credit to the performers who I am sure worked hard. That said, the story line was very strange, almost cultish. When we arrived. there was a person who represented the show and just watched every move you made. I received a text from work (phone was silent) and I read it ensuring to keep it low so the light didn’t bother anyone next to me. Out of nowhere this representative who was watching everything approached me and demanded to not only see my phone, but all my pictures (I guess to make sure I wasn’t taking any which I assure you I wasn’t). I had a few choice words for her and of course refused. I got so disgusted, I left. The whole atmosphere felt like I was truly in a communist country with my every move being monitored. The tickets were way overpriced and no way was the show worth the money. Never again-

Shen Yun was a wondrously, remarkable and mesmerizing performance in all ways. The beauty of the performers' costumes, their extraordinary dance, the stage setting, the orchestra, set design were incredible. I left the performance floating in pure joy!! Thank you for such a memorable experience!!

This was my first show,and I will definitely be coming back. The performance was amazing.

The show went beyond my expectations. The moves were done with agility and perfection. The dances were choreographed with such creativity and perfection. The music was so entertaining. Let us not talk about the designs on stage and the colors. It was breathtaking watching the show.

The dance and choreography were phenomenal with an amazing use of technology on the screen. Most of the scenes I found enjoyable except for 2 of them and that is when things were said that made us uncomfortable. While not an Atheist, two songs talked about the evils of atheism and evolution, and I was not prepared for that. Everyone should be allowed to have their own beliefs, calling Atheist and those that believe in evolution as sources of evil I do have a problem with. When we purchased these tickets, we had seen Shen Yun advertised and my partner loves Asian culture and is a Buddhist. While disturbed about those 2 acts we did enjoy the show, but after some research into the origins of Shen Yun and (Falun) Dafa if went downhill from there. Dafa is new and not old but is based on multiple ancient Chinese beliefs. My partner felt it betrayed her Buddhist beliefs. I highly suggest doing some research into Dafa if you want to contribute to it or not since performances do fund the non-profit and their NY compound that sponsors the company. Just note that the Wiki page for Dafa is heavily edited by the founder so look at multple sources.

Hundreds of patrons were allowed in very late, causing constant disruption to seeing the show. Latecomers did not put their phones away, causing glaring distractions. The costumes, dance and scenery were lovely, but the message that atheism an evolution are the work of satan, were clearly a fundamentalist Christian message, not authentic to ancient China.

The show was great. The downfall was the double seating. It pretty embarrassing to have wait in the hallway while the show was going on and they had to figure out why someone else were in my seats. Then I was I sat a couple of rows back until intermission. Very disappointing. Will I come back? Most likely not!

The dancing, colors and message were beautiful but it could have been a bit shorter which would have made it a more enjoyable experience. NJPAC opened the doors too late which we were told was at the discretion if the producer. There is no way that everyone could have filed in to the theater in time for the show to start on time so many people were left waiting at the doors until the NJPAC crew was given the go ahead to let people in resulting in many people missing the first part of the show which is not right.

Enjoyed the show, the colors, the explanation of each dance and the thankfulness of the person that came to each row thanking the patrons for purchasing a ticket and attending the show. Also the reminder that we should be thankful for living in a country that we can serve GOD!!

It was absolutely stunning!!! I will definitely be back next year when they return!!! 10/10

Very well performed, excellent coordination, great music

Shen Yun was beautiful! The dances were elegant and so nice to watch. The flips were really cool, and the music and setting were awesome. The dancers were so light on their feet. I didn’t find the projector immersive. The singing portions talking about atheism being evil were a little odd. The commentary seemed awfully strong for a show that seemed primarily about dance. But it was a lot of fun and I would go again.

There were maybe 3 segments that were interesting. The rest was repetitive, ambiguous and underwhelming. Don’t even get me started on the religious propaganda. Not at all what was advertised in the commercials. Have to hand it to them for their marketing though, they sure got that right. All 3 of us were disappointed and the people around us in the crowd were as well. We had a chance to discuss the show with our seat neighbours.

From the hosts to the costumes to the stories and music, this is a show to see at least once in a lifetime! The hosts were charismatic and so humorous that you'd expect them to be part of the performances. The costumes were vibrant and showed so much of the cultures character. Lastly, the stories were varied between mythological legends, tales of the old days, and even modern stories to bring perspective to life in China today. These were whimsical, comical, fun, and even sad at times, but all very entertaining. Especially with the transitions between the performers and the video backgrounds! I'm very happy to have seen Shen Yun and would definitely see their next show!

Ive been wanting to get a chance to see this show and it finally got to. It was worth every penny! At first i didnt like the price,but after seeing it and hearing the performance changes each year and those costumes explains why. It was simply breathtaking

The costums, color, dancing, music and the way dancers interacted seamlessly with backround were awsome

The group dancing and special effects were absolutely spectacular!!!

Well run and Well done. From the minute we entered the building to the minute we left. Everyone was very helpful and the performance was top notch. This is an event I recommend Everyone see. I would go again.

Awesome will return when back in town. I was surprised that my hubby was so pleased with the show..dancer's were fantastic
