I want nothing more than to go to the one in Cheyenne and see who goes to an anticommunist Chinese ballet in Wyoming. I even have my "I lost my virginity at Shen Yun 2022" shirt for a thumbs up photo with the cast.

Ethically it's on par with a normal ballet, but it's also charging $80 for the cheapest seat while the Colorado Symphony charges like $55. Those are the lord deterring me. I shouldn't be charged a premium for a hogwatch when I'm already not getting a good performance.

I genuinely can't believe they expect you to pay money to go there. When they were here I was also, sure for free I'll gladly take some chinese facist cult propaganda, but to have to pay 80 bucks for that experience is just ridiculous
