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.
I 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 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.
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
It was amazing! The story telling, the dance and the color! If you have not seen it, I strongly recommend it. I can't wait for next year! Awesome
The precision dancers were incredible. Not one mistake was spotted. Would I go again? No I would not. Without the narrators you would be totally lost and even then the performances didn’t convey what the story was supposed to be. The ticket price was just not with the show in my opinion.
Skilled dancers, creative choreography, excellent orchestra, superb colorful costumes and well worth the money.
We arranged this as a Birthday Gift/ Get together and we EXTREMELY happy. It was so beautiful and so well put together that we have been talking about it ever since. What a wonderful experience! Thank you!
It is easy to see why the show is so popular. The talent is incredible. The dances, video, and costumes are beautiful and flowing. The acrobatics are amazing. It was educational … we now know more about China and its history and various regions. There is an agenda that a show like this could do without, but I understand why it is there and the need to be a voice for many who cannot. Well done!
Great seats, fun show. The dances, video screen, singing and orchestra performance were all beautiful. However, evolution is very real per the scientists.
The dancing and acrobatics were good but the show wasn't quite what we were expecting. It was a series of skits played out in dance and music. I've been in four stage plays and seen a number of them as an audience member and I didn't feel that the performance was any better than community theater.
Loved the culture and dance that each scene told a story. Music was beautiful also the one violin type instrument was interesting and beautiful sound. I gave one star less because both singers were horrible. It literally hurt my ears.
This is a must see!! Fantastic work. Loved the colors and the art of it!!
The women dancers were beautiful and wonderful to watch and the men's acrobatic moves were impressive. We were expecting the whole program to be like that. However, that made up only about half the program at best. The rest consisted of the men dancing (not that great), some plays, and two (horrible) singers. Our party of 6 were all disappointed.
Very nice, would go back again. Everything was on point.
