I attended the SHEN YUN production, Saturday the 30th of April. It was billed as a formal event. Not even close! It was a total JOKE!!
1. Standing outside in line for 40+ minutes, sometimes in the street for "Will Call Tickets" to get your tickets is not up to the standard. The local Theater has a better system! That was after walking to what look like "Will Call" to find out it was Ticket Master.
2. Standing in line again for another 20 to 30 minutes, this time in the street, just to get inside. Thankfully it was not raining. Sweeting in formal ware behind a guy in camo shorts and a tee shirt. A really formal event!
3. At $150 a ticket, I was restricted to ONE program for the four of us. Although the Black woman behind me received two programs for her and her husband with out question. Must have been White Privilege. NO offense to the black couple, not their fault.
4. As talented as the dancers were, the production was somewhere between a High School and College level. The only thing that SHEN YUN had going for it was the "Big Screen" with poor quality costumes. The Jefferson Play House has nothing to worry about from the Mobile Civic Center Theater if they keep up this level of service. I will never attend another event there again. It was a total waste of $600+ dollars. read more
