Deeply grateful for Shen Yun — a magical and extraordinary performance
Our family watch Shen Yun every year, and we always see at least twice each year. It is truly the best reward for a year of hard work.
Through the performance, our children are able to learn about traditional Chinese culture—authentic Chinese culture that can no longer be experienced in mainland China today. We deeply cherish this opportunity!
Our children have been watching Shen Yun since the age of four. Even during the two-hour performance, they have never felt bored. They stay engaged and excited from beginning to end—it is truly a visual feast!
We all gain inspiration from the performance and benefit greatly from Shen Yun!
We deeply hope everyone has the opportunity to experience this wonderful performance in person, at least once in your life. It's truly a life-changing!

I've seen Shen Yun
I've seen Shen Yun; it was a fantastic performance. The program was beautiful, the costumes were vibrant, and there was live music accompaniment. Everything was so grand and perfect.👍👍👍
It felt like a high school theatrical/ dance show for children with inappropriate lame , political messages. This is not a show portraying the authentic Chinese culture. Very shameful. To top it off, significantly overpriced and long. The costumes were nice and the dancers put good effort into their work. Choreography was deplorable. People walking out… I wish they can put as much effort into the
show as they do promoting it. Disappointing.

Absolutely loved the show.
Absolutely loved the April 3rd performance at Lincoln Center! The storytelling, the dancing, and the music were just brilliant. My family has seen Shen Yun every year since 2023, and just when we thought it couldn't get any better, the 2026 show completely blew us away. It is incredibly captivating. I cannot recommend it enough—go see it!

Shen Yun was a deeply disappointing…
Shen Yun was a deeply disappointing experience to me. They are masters of great advertising but the show reminded me of my high school plays . I much more enjoyed Chinese Children Acrobatics show in Disneyland than this cheaply made show. Waste of money. The tickets should be no more than $30 . Don't fall for their spectacular advertising campaigns. Scam

Heavenly experience
Heavenly experience that you don't get anywhere else. My husband and I were so thrilled to see this show after a year's waiting. Top-notch! The artists are so brave to show their real selves, facing the suppression of the CCP and their media war launched only to silence them. This evil regime, which nearly destroyed traditional Chinese culture and committed crimes against humanity, is so afraid of being exposed by Shen Yun, whose mission is to share 5,000 years of divinely inspired culture on stage. This wouldn't be the last time we go see this wonderful show.

Pretty Dance Routines Mask Cult Religious Propaganda
Made the mistake of taking my family to see Shen Yun today. Suckered by the giant billboards and seemingly good reviews, imagine our surprise when halfway through the first act the performance turned into a religious conversion push with overt religious language. What an enormous waste of money and time. Unless you are a cult member, stay away from this garbage.

What a waste of money
What a waste of money, should be banned as it’s really a fraud, absolutely worst theatre/musical dance performance I have ever been to. Despite the totally in your face religious propaganda, the show is self was outdated, music and sound effect was not good, and the AI background looks like it was made twenty years ago and never upgraded. The dance crew has some skills but choreography is very repetitive and boring. Walked out half way. My poor husband bought tickets for my bday, really looking forward to a traditional Chinese culture experience, what a disappointment and regret, you can see so much better ones in China, with out any religious campaigning!

I went to the first Melbourne show my god was it boring and amateur. Dancing is very sloppy costumes look purchased from Temu. As I looked around the audience everyone was yawning 🥱 preying to Jesus it would just stop soon. The most horrible waste of our hard earned money. The people on the add are all full of Shit.
