Golden Globe-nominated actress Anne Jeffreys heaped praise on Shen Yun Performing Arts after taking in the show at The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on Thursday night.

“I loved it. I thought it was beautiful. It was informative and the dancers were glorious. The costumes were so beautiful and the precision. I liked everything about the show,” said Ms. Jeffreys, who has acted on stage and in more than 40 films.

Besides working along side Frank Sinatra, she has appeared on L.A. Law, Murder She Wrote, the original Battlestar Galactica and has her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

"There were so many people on the stage and they were all so graceful. I just loved it. And colorful, the costumes were gorgeous. The dancing was unbelievable.”

She said she enjoyed the stories and loved the Chinese instruments and the orchestra. She singled out the two-stringed erhu solo for special consideration.

"Fabulous. Wonderful. I’ve been in music all my life and I’ve never heard that instrument, knowingly, before, and she played it beautifully."

She thought that the show was a wonderful representation of China, all the culture of China. “It was just beautiful, I loved it.”

Ms. Jeffreys commented on one performance that depicted a tale of modern-day China where people were persecuted for practicing Falun Dafa.

"They showed the outcome was good. The people went back to being wonderful, after being harassed and beaten. It was really very educational. We know that it happened. We have television, we read and are aware."

"I just love the fact that it was back to the culture of China.”

Ms. Jeffreys traveled to China about two months before the Tiananmen Square massacre happened in Beijing in 1989.

"I loved the culture, I loved the people, and I hated to see that happen later on."

She said that the history and culture of China is "immense, and wonderful," something the show captured well.

"It's just beautiful dancing, wonderful costumes and a lovely spirit about it, I just loved every minute of it.”

Ms. Jeffreys suggested that if Shen Yun is nearby, people should see it.

“It doesn’t come around often. Not only is it a cultural experience, but it’s an experience of beauty and love, precision dancing and gorgeous costuming. So if it’s in your neighborhood, go see it, you’ll be sorry if you miss it. I’m glad I was here.”
