He said he didn’t know what Shen Yun was going to be like, and he found it “mesmerizing.”
“The music is incredible, the dancers are effortless,” he said during intermission. “It’s also amazing how the dancers interact with the costumes. It’s a beautiful show.”
Shen Yun Performing Arts is the world’s premier classical Chinese dance company.
Mr. Lamoreaux said the interaction between these dancers and the digitally projected backdrop was “ingenious.”
The New York-based company puts on a brand-new performance every year, including all-new music played by the orchestra, new colorful costumes, and new dance pieces, including classical dance, story-based dance, and ethnic dance.
Mr. Lamoreaux also said he appreciated the descriptions ahead of time of each dance vignette and music piece, as told by two bilingual hosts throughout the performance, as well as the variety of artistry.
Mr. Lamoreaux said he greatly enjoyed this aspect of the performance.
“I think it’s phenomenal to be able to share a different culture. Sometimes we get too isolated, right? So to be able to share another culture to see not only current but also historic is phenomenal. So very eye-opening,” he said.
The real estate developer said that after working seven days a week, Shen Yun was a great way to spend his evening off. He said each unique feature of the performance captured his interest.
“It’s all phenomenal,” Mr. Lamoreaux said.
