“It’s a wonderful show, something I dream of coming to. It’s a wonderful family event, the best way to celebrate the holidays. Everything comes together in such a wonderful way.”

Rose Billings, a governor of the National Arts Club in Gramercy:
“There’s charm, elegance, beauty… It’s like a birthday cake for everybody. Everybody could celebrate, and instead of fighting with each other, we could have peace and beauty. I love this show!”

Dr. Dan Miller, Host of? WVOX 1460 AM in New Rochelle:
This is a really wonderful performance. I would recommend ot to everyone. And of the Chinese New Year Spectacular comes back, I recommend everyone go out and get the tickets, not only see it once, see it twice.”

Mr. Lester Cohen, Founder and Chairman, SafeBlood Society (a charity):
“It was so inspiring. Most impressive were the words about goodness, about the spirit of life, about truth. That was important to me. I don’t think I’ll ever forget this performance … it covered what life is all about.”

Dean Beatrice Terrien-Somerville of Columbia University and her assistant Erika Gaynor:
“It was extremely powerful. I don't understand enough of it culturally, but enough of it symbolically came through. It was a feeling of goodness at the end of a lot of suffering, which was very moving.
-Dean Beatrice Terrien-Somerville, Columbia University
“I felt like there was this underlying message of goodness and hope conquering evil and darkness.”
-Erika Gaynor, Columbia University

Laurie Lawson, critic for Electroniclink.com:
Spectacular is the only word that could be used for this elaborate presentation of a multi-faceted country and its history. Chinese New Year Spectacular serves not only to showcase the diversity of the culture, but also emphasizes the underlying universality of all mankind--a search for truth, a striving for compassion, and yearning for goodness. This show is truly spectacular in all senses of the word!”
