So misleading. Came for the traditional vibes and hanfu, but got hit with a super political sermon instead. Hard pass. Not my cup of tea at all.

The dance was beautiful, but their color scheme made me very uncomfortable. I also overheard people discussing how exploited these performers are behind the scenes. I dont think I will be coming to th... See more

A lot of CCP bots giving reviews on here !

I usually don’t write reviews, but I noticed a bunch of 1 star reviews popping up…. my gut feeling tells me the Chinese Communist Party is up to its tricks again trying to take down this show. So, I felt I must do this show justice by posting my own review. I’ve seen this show and gotta say I am impressed and highly recommend it. From the choreography to the talent, it’s all very impressive. The music from a live orchestra uniquely synced with each dance movement was beautiful to watch and listen to. The last dance piece beautifully portrays how good always prevails over evil — Love it !!

I saw the show on Sunday

I saw the show on Sunday, and it was amazing. I was really inspired by the Mongolian dance, and I sat on the 4th row and I saw the dancers clearly, and their emotion and technique are excellent!

We see Shen Yun performing arts every year and love it!

The Shen Yun performing arts performance is an annual event that I and my family look forward to attending each year. Having seen this show for over 10 years, I am always amazed by the beauty of the dances and the music. The storytelling, based on classical Chinese history, just adds depth to show. Uplifting, hopeful and heartwarming, this is definitely a feel-good show for everyone. Highly recommended!!

The best show I’ve ever seen

This is the best show I’ve ever seen. It feels like experiencing 5,000 years of civilization. The dance and the staging are unbelievably beautiful. This is true traditional Chinese culture.

The most beautiful cultural renaissance of the 21st century

I love the show! Watched it with a group of friends, and we were very impressed by the artistic direction, musicians, colours, and immersive storytelling that integrated the stage performers with the digital backdrop seamlessly. Would definitely come back again next year when Shen Yun returns to Sydney!

I love ShenYun

I love ShenYun! We went to watch the show every year since my mom watched the show and got so inspired by it in 2020. I checked few comments which gave 1 score, I don’t think those people saying thing correctly, so I put my comment here, hopefully it can be helpful for the people don’t know the ShenYun yet.

I recently took my two children to see Shen Yun. It is literally the most beautiful performance I have ever seen. I felt like my breath was just taken away as soon as the curtain opened. The colors were so vivid and the dancers were so elegant and perfectly harmonized with each other. The male dancers were incredibly athletic especially one of them. I couldn't believe how high he could jump. The message and the performance was extremely uplifting and I walked away just feeling great and the feeling stuck with me all week=

Went watching it a Lincoln Center in NYC. Incredible experience. The blend of music from East and West instantly captured my hears, while the dancers were moving in ways I have never seen possible on a stage before. Seeing a culture so ancient but also so strongly spiritual was very inspiring. I have talked with a lot of my friends about it as I don’t see anything wrong with the show having religious overtones.
