TULSA, Okla.—The very first Shen Yun Performing Arts performance at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center drew people from around the greater Tulsa area on Wednesday, March 18.

Mr. Littlefield, a retired executive for the Williams Company was among the many thrilled audience members who were present. He was captivated from the very beginning of the first act The Five Millennia Begin, in which the historic figure, the Yellow Emperor sets into motion 5,000 years of Chinese culture.

“It was very colorful and beautiful, graceful dancing and the background was exciting.

“It was very interesting to see the cultural activity that goes in China—I’ve never been to China. I don’t know to what extent what exists today, but certainly in a historical culture, it’s very interesting.”

Aside from the colorful backdrop, dancing and singing, Shen Yun also features drum performances coupled with intricate dance technique. Such drum pieces were “enjoyed ... very much” by Mr. Littlefield.

When asked if he would come again with a friend, he replied “Absolutely. No question about it.”

Mr. Flores, who owns a construction company, was also among many of the enthusiastic audience members. Overall, he found the show to be “Very impressive. Very captivating.

“When you connect it [Chinese culture] to the show, you really feel the divine approach from the show. So, I am pleased with it. I am very captivated,” he said.

He expressed that the Chinese culture is very “broad and so extensive” in scope and the show gives a great glimpse into the 5,000-year-old culture: “What I see [tonight] is plenty to have an idea of why their traditions are so broad and so extensive.”

The performance shows “how they’ve been [around] longer than anyone on this earth.

“This kind of show is very enriching. … Culturally, very broad. It really has the knowledge of somebody else’s culture. Very special. Absolutely right.”

Mr. Flores would also “absolutely” recommend the show to other people.
