MELBOURNE, Australia—"I thought it was amazing. It was particularly beautiful. It's the thing I've been looking for from the East," said Henry Berrington a waiter from Melbourne, who saw the Spectacular on Saturday night in the State Theatre.

"It's a feeling I can't describe–it's really beauty that's what it is.

"Inner beauty–as well as outer and inner. It's too big of a word to describe just what I felt.

"It made me cry a couple of times actually.

"One time earlier on, in the first half, one of the singers made me cry and later on when I saw the persecution in particular, that really got me.

"And the one [about persecution] in the second half did it again. And I didn't really know how I'd feel but it just came out. Really wonderful actually. Really wonderful!

"The costumes are beautiful – I really want to do it myself actually; I want to find out how I could do that, what they're doing. I really love beauty and grace and what they're doing.

"I've never seen the Divine Performing Arts before and I was really curious about how I'd feel. And it was really, really good.

"I do know a bit about Chinese culture but I don't really know many Chinese people.

"I definitely got to know more. What was really interesting, at the beginning it shows the very, very, very beginning of the culture and goes all the way through until it comes to today. And you look at today's events as if they were history as well and then it makes you think about all of the other history in a different way. It feels like this is history it really feels like this is history."
