Shen Yun Performing Arts graced the stage at the Regent Theatre in Stoke-on-Trent on Feb. 18 as part of its 2026 UK tour.
The Lord Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent, Steve Watkins, was in the audience.
“The most amazing show. It’s a while since I’ve seen this theater so full. So many people engaged in what they were seeing. It’s so colorful, it’s so vibrant, it’s so ambitious, and the fact that I’ve learned things since I’ve come here today,” he said.
“As far as I’m concerned as the Lord Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent, we’re so pleased to have this fantastic company here, and we look forward to seeing them again,” he said.
“We have the Lord Mayor’s special recognition certificate for this company of Shen Yun artists,” he said.
“I would just compliment them on their amazing hard work that I know underpins these shows. Wonderful performances, exhilarating performances. And please, please, just keep going and keep doing what you do and educating the world.”
“It’s wonderful. Thank you,” he added.
