When asked how he liked the show, Mr. Townsend replied, "Oh it was wonderful, it was absolutely exquisite. Wonderful! Beautiful dancers and a great story line. Terrific. I really enjoyed it.
"I liked the stories, the stories were great. I loved the way they told them--it was terrific." He added.
Mr. Townsend said that his favorite program was "the one about the flower in the very beginning ["The Udumbara's Bloom"]. The flower piece was wonderful. It was just beautiful. The music was great. It was terrific, really terrific."
Mr. Townsend's friend, Lynette, who is a writer, was amazed by the gorgeous costumes.
She said, "The costumes, their passion for dance, the music fills your heart. It was just a fabulous, wonderful, beautiful performance. I so enjoyed it." She emphasized, "The stories are wonderful. They give you a piece of culture and yes, very nice.
"I learned a lot tonight. It gives you a greater appreciation for the culture by watching and experiencing it, and I learned a lot. I think the one I related the most to was Mulan, because that is the one we are all familiar with. It was wonderful, very nice." She added.
