What Makes Shen Yun So Special

"I've never seen anything like that. I've seen enough Broadway shows that still cannot compare to what I saw tonight."  The well-known Broadway critic Richard Connema commented Shen Yun after watching the show at San Francisco Opera House.    Richard is the critic for Talkin' Broadway and seasoned theater patron, his job is to watch shows. Why has not he seen a production like Shen Yun? What makes Shen Yun so unique and special?

After watching the show you may understand that Shen Yun is more than a entertainment performance, it is indeed an integrated production of culture and history in such a dynamic artistic form that delivers divine wave and energy vibration.  Inspired by the spirit of an ancient culture, Shen Yun brings to life classical Chinese dance and music in a gloriously colorful and exhilarating show.  Its masterful choreography and graceful routines range from grand classical processions to ethnic and folk dances, with gorgeously costumed dancers moving in stunning synchronized patterns. Based on ancient heroic legends and modern courageous tales, Shen Yun and its breathtaking beauty are not to be missed.


Richard Connema said, "The best word to use was 'mind blowing'. And I watched around the audience and they all were so involved with everything going on."   At the time of Shen Yun global tour to Sacramento last year, I finally had my mind-blowing experience.  Seating in Sacramento Community Theater, I had a wonderful time to see ancient legends of virtue brought to life alongside modern tales of courage, hear soaring songs by masterful vocalists that will move and inspire, and experience a sense of beauty and enchantment like no other with this unique, thrilling, and unforgettable show.  I am not surprised even Mr. Connema the critic picky man gave Shun Yun a 5-start review, "I probably have reviewed over 3 to 4 thousand shows since 1942. A lot of reviewers use stars... I will give this production 5 stars. That's the top," Richard Connema said.
