Several audience members were asked to give their impressions of the show. Here are a few of their responses.
Tom, an information technology manager for a major pharmaceutical company, was asked by a reporter if he would consent to be interviewed. He said he would be happy to and said, "It's fantastic! It was very beautiful! There's not a lot of words I can use to explain. It was a wonderful show, and it captured a lot of the lost culture. It really brought you to a place where you didn't expect to go. It was absolutely fantastic!"
When asked if he had a favorite segment, Tom replied, "I enjoyed the drums because they brought life to everything. But I have to say the ending was breathtaking! Where the divine beings were coming down--it was just awesome! Completely breathtaking!" He said the show conveyed "a message of hope, a message of peace and faith and compassion.
Neal, a warehouse manager, and Mary, a retired teacher, attended the show together. They stopped to speak to the interviewer to give their impressions. Mary said, "I thought it was excellent! I thought it was very dramatic! And very educational. And glorious!" Neal added, "I thought it was very educational, as well. And I thought the themes were well thought out and well put together. The dancing was excellent and varied."
