Shen Yun Tickets

I realised the show was based on their culture but didn't realise their religion would play such a bit part. However, it was such a colourful spectacle that I really enjoyed it.

Great authentic performance, good mix of history and modern and culture and very entertaining Chinese:English translators. Atmosphere was surreal I felt like o was taken back in time. Pristine costumes and timing of everything was great. Nothing out of step. Synched perfectly. Cannot wait until next year.

If you love Chinese dancing, original colourful dress wear and beautiful traditional Chinese music thousands of years ago also all the history that goes with it then it's a show you must see !

Stunning beautiful wonderful

Boring

Loved the show; the professionalism of the dancing & timing; the co-ordination with the backlighting. So different & awe-inspiring.

Show is too long and boring also dance is similar and too much. Nothing exciting for so disappointed.

Brilliant. Loved the music and the dancing

The dancing was superb,a good mix of modern and old , very enjoyable

A nice show if you like chinese dance/ Choreography was excellent,however it became repetitive and boring. Wouldnt want too see it again. And wasnt value for money.

The show was 19 set pieces, I found it all to be quite the same, some of the dancing was quite good but soon got bored by the repetition. I found it rather preachy in parts and not what I was expecting. I was hoping to see a more diverse, entertaining show. At the price I was charged per ticket ( I bought 3) I found not worth the price.

So beautiful and privilege and honour to have seen this and a great 50th birthday treat from my husband. The breadth and depth of the emotions from the show were vast... from awe to raw emotion and crying to joy and laughter all in one show... loved it! Definitely recommend and look forward to seeing them again! Thank you!

Overall disappointed, the impact of the on line videos wasn't achieved as smaller stage, fewer dancers. Thought its shame that the backdrop projected onto the cast when they were on the steps at the back of the stage.

We were hoping for a spectacular performance. It appeared to be a show about poor choreography and coloured costumes. No performances by individuals stood out. We also hoped for authentic music with traditional instruments. We left the show during the interval because we anticipated the second half would be very similar.

For me, it was a simply beautiful production: the very accomplished performers seamlessly interacting with the digital screen gave a breath-taking 4th dimension to the wonderful experience. The simple combinations of the subtle colours of the costumes were delightful. The only thing that grated was the male Master of Ceremonies: the western lounge suit was out of keeping with the Chinese theme. My companion thought the Masters of Ceremonies should have costumes to match the items that they were introducing. We both thoroughly enjoyed the spectacular experience. Thank you all.

Music poor. Not Chinese. Dancing good but very repetetive. Annoying comperes. Good backdrops. Political comment (chinese police) inadvisable. In all a disappointment. More American than Chinese.

I couldn’t see a thing as there was to two very tall person in front of me. When ask if I could have 2 high chair . The man replied they ran out .

If you enjoy dance then it was a great show. However the dancing was so similar across the show that we would have enjoyed more variations. Still worth seeing though.

Great music and dancing. Didnt flow because of curtain down and narration between each scene. Great mixture of screen an live action. I was expecting to see more acrobatics and other chinese culture that I have seen in China but it is mainly just classical dancing

The American compare, Jerry, was irritating at best and came across like a corny high school drama teacher at the end of year production. Unnecessary as the individual scenes were very self explanatory and needed no introduction nor smarmy fake smile. Some scenes were great and lived up to the expectation but others sadly fell short. We were waiting for the once in a lifetime spectacular as described in the publicity. Sorry guys, just fell so far short

We expected a spectacular but it was boring and repetitive. Would not recommend.

a visual and audio spectacular with very clever interaction between the stage and the background screen.The costumes are stunning as are the dance routines.

Having paid £90 per person, I feel cheated and insulted to be confronted with a political rally by a religious sect. They are welcome to advertise if they wish but they should not make us pay under false pretences of presenting Chinese culture. Most of what we saw had little to do with real Chinese culture, including a wedding march which plagiarised Wagner! An absolute disgrace from beginning to end should be banned under the trades description act!

Don't bother.

Whilst the standard of the show & performance was generally good the theme, lack of connected story line was monotonous & disjointed. The reviews that that have been marketing the show is misleading. Really upset considering the cost of the tickets.

Really wonderful performance and I enjoyed it in all respects. I would have preferred to see politics out of this entertaining spectacular show. It is inappropriate to misrepresent Communist China's resistance to Falun Dafa,I believe the reasons were not based on spiritual practices but due to financial and economic reasons. I am also In any event China and the world have moved on and we have a new China a global giant in ever respects. I hope Shen Yun will soon be able to perform its beautiful dances in the very country where they originated. Wo Ey Shen Yun.

As a group of three, we all thoroughly enjoyed the first two scenes. However, it lacked a continuing storyline, the political and religious overtures dampened the dance. China has far more to offer with its scenic beauty and with well disciplined dance routines, it lacked that ‘magic’ that makes an audience show huge appreciation. The audience too was somewhat lacklustre. For the price paid for the tickets I would have preferred seeing something else.

Good show. Not as exciting as the advertizing preview. I believe a purchased seats in the stalls 11th row and I received seats in the circle 11th row. Not good for your eyes to sit so far. For this reason very disappointing. Not worth the £83.30 ticket price.
