[Sohee Song, Traditional Korean Singer]:
“The performance is spectacular. It’s really amazing for Shen Yun performing Arts to be able to perform more than 20 dances and songs with lively scenes in only two hours, without feeling like it was rushing the audience. I felt the funniest dance from today’s show was the one about those young monks, it was so interesting that I couldn’t help but give a standing ovation. I also read some stories about the Monkey King before, but the dance about Monkey King in the show was just as vivid as a movie. Watching this show was such an enjoyable experience for me.”
韩国传统民谣歌手宋素喜说：
“这场演出很壮观。神韵表演艺术团能够在2个小时内，演出20组以上，配合生动场景的舞蹈及音乐，而且不会让观众有匆促的感觉，这实在很令人惊奇。我觉得今天节目最有趣的是，有关小和尚的舞蹈。这个太有趣，我忍不住起立鼓掌。我也读了一些关于孙悟空过去的故事。但演出里的孙悟空舞蹈，如同电影里般的生动。观看这场演出，对我是来说是很愉快的经验。”
