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.
It was absolutely fantastic! Plus the effects that you wouldn't even imagine. Dance, song, theatrics, orchestra, plus it was witty, loved it.
Words cannot explain how wonderful this show is. We were mesmerized by the colors and movement of very dance. It s a very long show so it may be difficult for little ones to sit for that long by but it really is captivating.. And he story being told is a beautiful history of the love and pain of many lives in China. I’m so happy. We were able to see it. Highly recommend this show to everyone.
Just a couple of good (customs and dances) acts. Lots of repetition. Signs displayed during the acts are not in English (not cool at all) and waaaaay to many religious references. Musicians and orchestra are pretty good. The tenors leave a lot to be desired.
I took my granddaughter to celebrate her 6th birthday. She loves dance and sat on the edge of her seat for much of the performance. It was very entertaining and engaging. It was a memorable and great birthday gift.
Show could have been half as long as it was . Female routines were good/decent. Solo artists were cringeworthy. Advertise as a religious program or take it out of the program.
I like how each scene was explained before.made it easy to understand and enjoy can’t wait till next year.
I production like no other, the costumes choreography was spot on!
I believe the show has approximately 12 dances in total, 25% were NOT relevant and just an "add on"may be for dress changes .The acrobatics performers and beautiful color schemes were the most enjoyable. Once is enough to watch this company perform.
Expectations were so much higher. It felt repetitive
Love the MCs explaining each act... The performers were very colorful and entertaining.
From the beginning to the grand finale, I was on the edge of my seat.! The music, dance, singing, orchestra were an enchanting exhilarating lifetime experience. I was in awe! It truly is a "must see."And for me...I plan to take a double look. I must see Shen Yun a second time. Once isn't enough! One of the BEST performance I have attended.
I expected the show to be wonderful and it exceeded my expectations!
Best show I’ve seen in a long time. Colorful and extremely entertaining.
Dancing, and singing. Show moves toward Religious Propaganda thru out the show. The dancing was okay some of the dances were wonderful. The other ones were okay nothing special.
apparently, my dad and mom had tickets for the Shen Yun performance in 2014. this would have been their last date before my dad passed of a long term illness. my mom had to give their tickets away because dad wasn't well enough to make it and he died shortly thereafter. fast forward to 2024, I found out that mom had always wanted to see the Shen Yun performance but couldn't with dad, so I very proudly treated her to your show. she and I had a wonderful, memorable time! the performance was delightful. thank you for being a part of giving my mom her "last date".
I loved the dances with the beautiful colors, but overall I found the show boring. I go to a lot of stage plays and ballet, but I left this show at intermission.
Girls beautiful dancers , scenery was great and magical the way they made them look like they were flying. The storying telling was great also. And the announcers telling us in English and Chinese was very helpful. The costumes were beautiful just like on T.V. I will tell my friends to see it.
We were front row center. watching the Orchestra and the timing of the dancing was beautiful!
Most of the dancing is spectacular, although after awhile, the movements all seem the same. Great acrobatics and wonderful costumes. The screen technology is remarkable, where the dancers and screen images quickly interchange. The singers were painful to listen to. The first one was pitchy and never quite in tune. The second one had a vibrato that was so wide. Also the translation of the songs is very religious. The second song said atheism and evolution are Satan’s doing. This is very extreme.
It was very-very beautiful concert. What I did not like were the broadcasters. There was no need for them to speak aftet every dance. And it would be much better just to have a non-stop concert without broadcasting. The second thing I did not like was the length. It was too long. YET it was an increadable experience to be present at. Thank you!
