HOUSTON—After years of wishing to attend a Shen Yun Performing Arts show, David Edery finally got his chance at Houston’s Jones Hall for the Performing Arts.

Edery, a medical doctor, was floored by the Dec. 28, 2019, performance.

“Exquisite. Absolutely exquisite. Beautiful, very talented. Beautiful colors, grace, classiness, elegance, beauty, pure … Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I’m flabbergasted,” he said.

“I’ve been wanting to see it for many, many years. Never had an opportunity, and some friends invited us to join them tonight. ... I’m surprised I waited this long to come and see it. My friends that are with me, this is their fifth time of seeing it.”

Audience members often say it’s as if Heaven or heavenly beings have really appeared onstage.

“Very much so. Very much so. It’s like a dream onstage. It’s like people dreaming. It’s like flowing, it’s glowing, it’s gliding. It’s beautiful. I’m really mesmerized by the show,” Edery said.

“I like when the angels came down. It’s beautiful. Beautifully done ... beautifully done,” he said.

His reaction to the divinely inspired Chinese culture in the show was that it’s “very graceful. Very pure.”

“It’s grace and pure. That’s all I can say. It’s peace. It feels good. It’s safety. It’s a feeling of calmness, of feeling good. Really feeling good. It’s a lot of things,” he said.

“It’s emotional. It makes me feel happiness. And it’s funny also. There are some funny parts in it.”

The doctor summed up his message for others about Shen Yun: “Just a must-see. An absolute must-see.”
