“I thought it was wonderful. Beautiful dancing. The colors were wonderful. The stories, you can really feel [the] stories through the dancing. So it's very nice,” said Jeff Linton, an environmental services director. “How they were able to depict a story through their dancing and the emotion, and I won't start dancing now, but the emotion you can feel, the emotion through their movements and dances. It's beautiful. I loved it.”
“It was the dancing and how elegant and flowing and graceful all the movements were and the costumes really added to it, and it was just beautiful. And then I really enjoyed the merging of the Western instruments with the classical Chinese instruments. That was very nice,” said Kyle Manning, a property manager.
“It's horrible. I think it's horrible, and I think it needs to change, somehow, some way,” said Jeff Linton.
“It was a good reminder that it was ongoing in communist China, any sort of religious belief is looked down upon, and as they showed in the show, still very heavily persecuted today, which is obviously not good. And hopefully will change in the future,” said Manning. “The message of caring and kindness, and as opposed to the modern looking out for just yourself, was very timely and important.”
“Communism and places where they don't allow you to practice that, it's horrible. It's horrible, it needs to stop,” said Dee Ahn, an auditor. “What I liked is there was a line that was sung by the tenor, singing that the divine are waiting here for the Creator, and soon we'll be freed from sin and karma. And I think that's a really beautiful thought, because really, that's what we're all here doing. We're waiting to be saved from evil.”
