DENVER—Claire and Michael DeGroot loved Shen Yun Performing Arts so much the first time they saw it that they returned to bring Sandra DeGroot to see it for her birthday.
“This is the best present I have ever had in my life. I absolutely loved it. Just amazing. And it was over so quickly, even though it was almost two and a half hours—it was beautiful. Really appreciated their talent,” said Ms. Sandra DeGroot after seeing Shen Yun at The Buell Theatre on April 5.
“It is spiritual and graceful and, I mean, just wonderful,” she said.
“It was spectacular,” he said, describing how the instruments were set up and how the orchestra perfectly matched the dancing. “It’s just phenomenal, very beautiful ... just phenomenal. All the percussion, gong, strings, bass—yeah, it’s just amazing. They’re so good.”
“She’s an amazing player. To watch her play the two strings is just—it’s a treat,” Mr. DeGroot said.
Mr. DeGroot said Shen Yun delivered a positive and much-needed message of “kindness.”
“I think that the world needs this message right now, of just basically hope and being kind to each other,” he said.
Ms. Claire DeGroot said that this was their second viewing, but wouldn’t be their last.
“We'll be back,” she said.
