Amazing performance
by CB on 5/13/24Orpheum Theatre - MinneapolisI was so impressed by how the people moved in and out of the background. The performers have incredible strength to be able to do all the moves that they do.

Shen Yun Performing Arts is a triumph of collaboration, bringing together over a hundred of the world's foremost classically trained Chinese dancers, choreographers, musicians, and vocalists. It also boasts the world's only full orchestra that embraces both Western and Chinese instruments as its permanent members.
Based in New York, Shen Yun Performing Arts is distinguished by its conscious effort to remain independent of China's communist regime, which has abused and impoverished the arts for decades. It is proud to thus include members who practice Falun Gong. The company aspires to create original performances that not only entertain, but also more deeply educate, enrich, and inspire. The company's rich repertory is drawn from the pages of history, universal themes, and the world around us. All choreography and music performed are original.

Shen Yun is a beautiful, culture experience. The talent that the dancers, singers, and musicians are Extraordinary. The stories they tell, connect to your heart and soul. It is so enjoyable from beginning to end. The hosts are so delightful in the way they work together both in English and Chinese. I very much enjoyed the experience with my mom.
We enjoyed the agility, expression & skillful dancing. But we were disappointed to experience 4 pieces that I can only describe as religious propaganda. While I support the first amendment & the group’s freedom of religious expression, they should have provided notice during the ticket purchase process or earlier, so we could have decided if we wanted to support this group’s religious expression. It was also a little disappointing that they repeated some moves in different pieces.
The show and costumes were exceptional, as well as the dancing. The soloists who performed were also excellent, as was the interaction with the digital background (very interesting how they did that). The show was great, if a little long.
Not at all what we expected. Boring and political.we left at intermission. The best part was that it was way overpriced!
The entire performance was beyond my greatest imagination. The staging, costumes and entire production were wonderful. Can't wait for next year's performance.
Wonderful performance. Beautiful dancing and props. Don't miss it next time it comes to town.
The performances far exceeded my expectations. The commercials don't capture the full experience, which is good, because it's a thrilling surprise that I don't want to spoil for anyone who hasn't seen it. All I'll say is that the virtual realities between the actions live on stage and their morphing with the fantastic backdrop for each scene and story will take your breath away as if you were a participant. BRAVO!
There was an amazing variety of storytelling, dance, music, choreography, and costume. An amazing and spellbinding use of motion and athleticism. Technical involvement with the background plays a supporting role for the participants activities. Classical Chinese dance unknown to me was truly a remarkable work of art.
Sitting in a seats that cost hundreds of dollars with knees hitting the seat in front of us without being able to move our feet for 3 hours made the experience very distracting and disappointing. Would not do it again
