ADELAIDE, Australia—South Australian entrepreneurs, John and Rose Williams, felt the Spectacular was brilliant after seeing it at the matinee session in Adelaide, April 15.
"I mean, it was spectacular. The way they finished with the drums, they knew how to get everybody going, didn't they? Obviously, they were very sequenced in their ways, that was very, very clever," said John.
The whole experience was enjoyable, John said, but he particularly liked the singing.
"I enjoyed the background, yeah, the musicians. The baritone or the tenor — they were stunning. [And the soprano], that little voice came out without any effort! That was fantastic."
Rose Williams said she was interested in the deeper meanings in the show."I think a little about what we are seeing, it is not just pure entertainment. There is an underlying message there which we are actually digesting at the moment.
"It's like the yin and yang. They seem to be showing that being true to yourself and not lying — they are showing that through entertainment ... and not having been fearful of having a spiritual side, it's not a weakness.
"It's good. It gives you a bit of history which they've missed out on for so long, and shows you the spiritual talent that they are very keen on.
"We're all learning by coming to this' It's got a great spiritual faith to it which is not sort of, it's not religious, but it's a sort of 'feel good' part of the show."
Ms Williams said she thought the show was expressing very traditional themes and hoped the younger Chinese mainlanders would get to see the show.
"Their eastern side, it's not dominated by the West, but I think the new China, all the children here in China at the moment haven't seen this type of dance and singing, and they'd like to know what their parents or grandparents have been through.
"It's been hidden and forbidden for so long and I think it [the Spectacular] will make it more acceptable. It's a bit like human rights, isn't it? They're slowly bringing things to the surface."
