It was a great show last year. This year, it is probably even better.

This show is my favorite. Below is a recent review from Beyond Chron on the show performed in San Francisco: "This musical show is a powerful tale of love’s triumph over all roadblocks. From the opening scene where the cast is practically floating on clouds with Angels flying around the stage, you feel that dreams really do come true." (For the full review, please see http://www.beyondchron.org/news/index.php?itemid=5305).

Yes, I just saw the show in San Francisco. It is a truly AMAZING show!!! I've seen many western or eastern shows(many Chinese ones also) before, but nothing is like this one. Everything about the show is so splendid and beautiful, you have to see it to understand what I mean. There is just not enough adjectives to describe how wonderful and surprising the show is.
GO & WATCH IT! And bring all your family and friends along. They will thank you afterwards.

It's one thing to be handed fliers on the street, to receive spam in my InBox, to be shouted at in the subway. But it's a COMPLETELY different thing to be sold $68 tickets to a "cultural celebration", a "variety show", only to realize that I'm sitting through 2 hours of PROPAGANDA! I'm from Mainland China, I'm NOT a communist supporter, and I sympathized with the Falun Gong UNTIL NOW. At least in China, I didn't have to PAY for propaganda that was coming at me at every direction, and they would not LIE to me and have me pay $68 a ticket to sit for 2 hours in an otherwise reputable venue just to listen to propaganda. Absolutely terrible. I was so offended that I wrote a letter to Radio City asking them to NEVER ever book this show again. Of course, I received no response. DO NOT BUY TICKETS TO SEE THIS SHOW! You will be sitting through hours of "Falun Dafa is Great, Death to the Communist China" and NOTHING about Chinese New Year. To all the media outlets falsely promoting this show: SHAME ON YOU!

rubabega I am not chinese but I agree with you completely! I actually saw this show a few days ago and couldn't help but feeling that I was not watching a cultural show but more of an expensive commercial for a very specific group THE FALUNG GONG. One or two numbers with this theme would not have bothered me that much because it would have actually been a representaion of one of the many facets of Chinese culture. But 2 1/2 hrs of praising Falun Dafa confused me and grated on my nerves!

I went to the show with my family. I thought my 8 years boy was not able to stay long. So, we drove two cars in case I had to quit early. The show was excellent. My 8 years stayed until the end of the show without any problem. The whole family enjoyed the show. There are a few Falungong related topics in the show. In reality, the show just presented what truly happened in China. It had no offending to me at all. Since my boy could understand most of the show, I really don't have any problem with the content and the presentation. BTW, the dance and music are profound. We'll definitely come back to the show next year.

I just watched it in New York Radio City. It is a totally new experience for modern audiences. Good educational programs for everyone. Only 2 Falun Gong topics but they are all beautiful stories and very touching. I live in US for over 10 years but I believe those stories are real and probably are happening now in China. I like truth is poweful. Even some CCP(Chinese Communist Party) people don't like it but doesn't matter. It is free America! Recommend everyone to watch it!

I took a group of my friends (many of them are not Chinese) to visit China in 2005. We went to various acrobatic and dance shows there. Everyone was thrilled with the performances. My Egyptian friend saw the ads for this show and thought it would be like one of the shows she saw in China. She organized the same group of friends to go see the show. She was also very eager to share with her mom the rich Chinese culture and extravagant showmanship she had witnessed in China, so she took her mom along too. The show turned out to be a big disappointment. It was a political propaganda performed by a team of talentless amateurs, that completely distorted the essence of Chinese arts. Of course the organizer of the show tactically marketed the show as a culture celebration performed by highly professionally trained talents. It was completely deceiving. In the show, it repeatedly emphasized that the number one belief of Fa Lun Gong is being truthful. The organizer just demonstrated the opposite. Fortunately my non-Chinese friends had already experienced the true essence of Chinese culture. Otherwise this show will undoubtedly distort their view about China and 5000 years of Chinese history.

Look forward to it!
