On March 22, he finally succeeded, and the couple watched the matinee at Younes and Soraya Nazarian Center for the Performing Arts.

Ms. Sattinger thought the whole show was fabulous.

“It was beautiful and very special,” she said. “I know how many years of hard work—the spiritual effort from the [performers’] heart and mind—it took to create [the show.] Keep up the good work!”

“It was fabulous! I didn’t know it would [talk about social issues] and explain the curve of mankind. I thought that was incredible,” he said.

New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts is the world’s premier classical Chinese dance and music company.

Endowed with 5,000 years of history, China was once known as the “Land of the Divine.” For millenniums, its people believed that by keeping their hearts pure and adhering to strict moral standards, they will be blessed by the divine.

Mr. Sobel loved that Shen Yun is portraying traditional values and art.

“I’ve been trying for years to come. We travel around the world a lot, and we like to see art. So, my wife didn’t understand why I was so serious about [Shen Yun,]” he expressed.

“I just knew that this was going to meld art and passion and creativity. I’m speechless. I wasn’t moved to tears—I was moved to smile and in shock the whole time.”

A highly respected attorney in his field, Mr. Sobel has represented many famous artists in his career but has never seen anything quite like Shen Yun.

“It’s just fabulous. It’s one of the best performances. I’ve represented multi-platinum recording artists and very, very famous television people—but I’ve never seen [a show] like this before. Wow.”

“I’m a modest guy; I’m shy when I see something special. All I can say is—it’s special. People will not, cannot understand it until they’ve seen it themselves.”
