New York—Sandee Levine, of Long Island, New York, is a veteran actress, singer, and dancer. She has been performing for many years, including in "Music Man" and "The King and I" in local theater. She was also one of the five finalists out of 100 contestants in the 2007 Miss Senior America.
Ms. Levine was in the audience at Radio City Music Hall on Feb. 6—Chinese New Year's Eve—for the Divine Performing Arts Chinese New Year Splendor.
"It was spectacular!" she said. "The dancing was so elegant and graceful—beautiful, sensational, stupendous, magnificent. It was just fabulous."
She wished that she had more adjectives to describe her feelings: "Everything was perfection. There is not one element that I can say that we could not have had or that wasn't as good as something else. It's all been fabulous."
"I would come back in a minute to see it again—every aspect of it, the music, the lighting, the scenery, the talents, everybody, the singers. There is not one negative thing I could say about it."
As a dancer herself, she said her heart particularly went to the dancing. "The dancers are magnificent. They are so well trained. … They are completely in unison with each other."
As an actress, singer, and dancer, she knows how much work it takes to do it this well. "It is your whole life. You have to devote every day, seven days a week." It requires "complete devotion to your training," she said.
As a singer, she also loved the singers, especially tenor Hong Ming, whose singing she called "sensational."
Of the young lead dancer in the story of the Loyalty of Yuefei, an ancient hero of China, she said, "He is a future Mikhail Baryshnikov," the famous Russian dancer.
She rates the show an A+ and recommends it anyone who is culturally inspired to come to see it.
The Chinese New Year Splendor continues in New York through Saturday, Feb. 9.
