THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.—Shen Yun Performing Arts is a performance the entire family can enjoy together. Denise Frankfort and her husband were finally able to get their family to experience Shen Yun together.
“This was a thrill because we have the whole family,” said Denise Frankfort. Although her entire family was at the performance, only she, her husband, and her son Evan were present for the interview.
Although New York-based Shen Yun has been touring the United States since 2006, this is their first time seeing the performance.
“I loved it tonight. And I’ve waited so long to see it that I’m more than pleased. I had no idea about the background and how exquisite it was. And I know that the dancers are so precise. Thank you. I was just thrilled. I love it,” said Mrs. Frankfort.
“The precision was just absolutely incredible. Incredible. I loved it. Especially the ending number. That just blew me away,” commented Mr. Frankfort.
“I love the costumes. They were fantastic dancers,” said Evan, who produces music for film and television.
“I thought the stories were fun. They were almost mythical and the use of lions and sorcerers—it’s fun,” said Evan.
“The erhu was beautiful and we love the tenor,” said Evan.
Out of curiosity, Evan asked, “Was there a trampoline?”
“I had no idea that there were so many companies. They’re growing there. Overwhelming. It really was,” said Mrs. Frankfort.
