“It was a wonderful experience. It’s my first time, I really enjoyed it,” said Mr. Gascon, impressed with the choreography of the entire show.
“It was just amazing. I know it’s not easy what they do out there. So I really enjoyed watching it,” he said.
Mr. Gascon overheard someone say the New York-based production was a celebration of Chinese culture and agreed, adding, “Absolutely it is.”
Shen Yun features include a portrayal of beloved Chinese legends, ethnic and folkloric tales, and contemporary stories through classical Chinese dance and music.

“It’s beautiful, and I think it’s amazing for me,” she said. “Very impressive. I’m glad I’m here.”
“I will tell my friend, ‘don’t miss it. You will be very impressed.’ It’s absolutely beautiful.”
