Shen Yun Performing Arts troupe just concluded its annual performances at the Lincoln Center in New York on April 13th, with all 18 shows packed with audiences, and tickets completely sold out. If you missed the Shen Yun performances at the Lincoln Center, you still have a few opportunities in late April and early May to catch the shows in Albany, the capital of New York state, and Newark, New Jersey, which are among the few remaining viewing opportunities this year.
The Shen Yun performances at the Lincoln Center this year were even more popular than in previous years, with crowds flooding into the David H. Koch Theater. Tickets were in such high demand that they were nearly impossible to come by before each show began; some audience members who tried to buy tickets at the last minute had to leave disappointed. The audience response has been enthusiastic, with rave reviews pouring in. In a situation where tickets were completely sold out, the organizers opened up obstructed view seats to meet the audience’s demand, resulting in an overall ticket sales rate averaging 103%.
Shen Yun brings to the audience not only performances showcasing exquisite skills but also a journey of culture and spirituality. Centered around traditional Chinese classical dance, the show presents the essence of the 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization like a picturesque poem in front of the audience. Distinguished figures from various sectors in the Greater New York area flocked to the performances, with thunderous applause filling the venue. Many audience members expressed that they were not only enthralled by the exceptional artistic level and extraordinary grand production, but also enlightened by the traditional universal values and the divine radiance they witnessed.
Shen Yun has been hailed as a “must-see performance in a lifetime,” with Geoff Jackson, a senior accountant who has been attending Shen Yun performances for 18 consecutive years, expressing, “You can tell how much everyone loves it by seeing how many people are here today.”
