I have seen Shen Yun twice and would go see it again. The dancers are incredible, the costumes are stunning, and the energy on stage is second to none.  If the Chinese Consulate propagandizes it, then it must be a good, high quality show.  LOL.  Actually, I'm pretty sure, in their eyes, anything that doesn't worship them (Chinese Communist Party) must not be good. Shen Yun is very spiritual, which I loved because you can't really find much spirituality in society today, so it was a breath of fresh air.  It is definitely a must see! Too bad this author had her mind made up before going.
