TULSA, Okla.—As Shen Yun Performing Arts 2009 World Tour debuted in Tulsa on Wednesday, March 18, Mr. Goodman, a judge on the Oklahoma Court of Appeals said he had seen Chinese shows before. He thought they could not compare to Shen Yun. “I've enjoyed this show immensely. It's a wonderful show. I used to travel in China quite a bit, and I've attended the Peking Opera quite a few times, and this is well beyond that!” He joined the audience in applauding the highly acclaimed show at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center.
He added that, “This a wonderful show. I'm enjoying it a great deal.”
Judge Goodman said what really impressed him about the show was, “How rich the Chinese culture is. I think we in the West forget what a deep, rich culture the Chinese [have], how long it goes back in history, and the wonderful traditions [presented here], many of which reflect the values that we in the West hold dearly, too.”
He said that he was most touched by the dance, Heaven Awaits Us Despite Persecution.
“I really enjoyed the [dance] involving the family, and the persecution of the father of that family, and the ascendency of the father into the heavens, to a better 'beyond.' I enjoyed that very much.”
He concluded, “Of course, all of the show is just very, very good. They are a very high-quality performances.”
The president of a manufacturing facility, Mr. Pfifer of Oklahoma City, was impressed by Shen Yun. He felt pleased that it had come to Tulsa. “This show comes from New York, but portrays the Chinese culture very well.”
He added that he appreciated many aspects of the show, “I find the show very entertaining. The dancers are very precise. The music's great, the color is excellent!”
Mr. Pfifer said he had some knowledge of China. “I have had the pleasure of traveling to China at one time or another. I think this shows what the culture of China can be.
“All-and-all, it's been a great experience. I think it's great that it's here, and I hope they have a lot of success with it,” said the business leader.
