Mr. and Mrs. Colinas said the show was very professional.

Mr. and Mrs. Colinas of London enjoyed the show very much. Mr. Colinas is a retired teacher and Mrs. Colinas is a reporter. She is learning Chinese and writes articles for a Chinese culture related website. They said that the show was professional and very entertaining. They have been to China and seen the Beijing Opera. But they found the Beijing Opera hard for them to understand. They understood the Chinese Spectacular very well, which they attributed to the hosts' well-crafted introductions to each number. Mr. Colinas said he usually doesn't like drum playing, but today, he thoroughly enjoyed all the drum dances.

A government official gained insights about art from the show.

A woman who works for the local government told the reporter that the show gave her many hints about art. She used to be an artist and said that she would go to Divine Performing Arts' website, because she believes she can learn a lot from the company.

A 90-year-old woman, who used to be a tailor, repeatedly praised the costumes in the show.

An English woman came to the show with her adopted Chinese daughters. She hoped that her children would learn about Chinese culture from the show.
