BOSTON—Shen Yun Performing Arts gave its final performance at the Boch Center’s Wang Theatre on April 6 to a delighted and thrilled audience.

Brian and Tiffany Lee were enchanted by what they saw on stage. Mr. Lee, a captain with a corporate airline, said, “It was absolutely fantastic. I'd highly recommend it. For sure.”

“I actually saw a commercial on TV, and then I started seeing it on the internet, and I knew I had to come,” he said. He gave a Shen Yun performance as a surprise for his wife.

“I showed up and went, ‘Wow, this is amazing!’ Even just the theater is amazing,” she said.

Mrs. Lee expressed her joy at the performance. “It was amazing, the dancing. I was blown away. It was beautiful. And all the beautiful dresses. Oh, it’s beautiful,” she said.

Shen Yun’s performance also features singers who use the bel canto technique. While singing in Mandarin, the lyrics are projected in English on the backscreen.

This moved Mr. Lee who said, “We learned a lot. It gave me goosebumps, reading some of the stuff [on the backscreen], especially while they were out there singing and you could actually see the translation. It was like you could tell there was a lot of spiritual effects to this whole show.”

As he listened to the singer, Mr. Lee said, “I was just mesmerized. I didn’t put it to memory. I was just mesmerized during the whole thing.”

Many audience members comment on the beautiful colors and that was also an element that Mr. Lee appreciated. “It was so colorful. The music was spot on. I mean, all the entertainment. And they just did a fantastic job,” he said.

Shen Yun’s 3D animated backdrop is an audience favorite and amazes many when they first watch it. “It was really cool. It just kind of appeared like that. It was seamless,” Mrs. Lee said.

Shen Yun’s mission is to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture, including traditional values and way of life, before communism.

“I love that,” Mrs. Lee said.

Mr. Lee also approved how Shen Yun displayed these values in the performance. “I think it’s great. I think it’s great to be able to bring out this kind of artistry. There was just so much talent that was up there on stage. And even behind the stage, all the production work that was involved in this [including] the music, the 3D effect on the screen. Phenomenal job,” he said.

Most people are not aware that modern gymnastics originated in the performance art of ancient China.

“I think the culture is great, and to be able to share it here in Boston with everybody. I didn’t know that was the traditional Chinese dancing. I thought it was acrobatics, too. So that’s amazing,” Mrs. Lee said.

The finale features the Creator arriving on earth to save humanity. “Yes, yes. That brought it all together, which was a nice job,” Mr. Lee said. “Very meaningful. It’s kind of like fighting evil and the good will prevail.”

“Isn’t that so true nowadays?” Mr. Lee said. “We need that. We need more of that.”

“Not only in China. Everywhere,” Mrs. Lee said.

“The whole world. Yes, everywhere in the world,” Mr. Lee said. “I even say, even in the United States, even nowadays. Not to get political, but it’s one of those things where it’s good versus evil. And it seems like it’s everywhere. And you always have to be cognizant of that.”

“Yes, definitely to fight communism,” Mrs. Lee said.

Mr. Lee said that people should treat everyone with compassion. “There’s not enough of that, unfortunately.”
