Zhong Lee, President of New Tang Dynasty TV said, "This year will be the Year of Boar, which exemplifies sincerity. What better way to show the sincerity to the one you love then take her or him to the Chinese New Year Spectacular?"
With elegant court ladies in opulent Tang fashions, lovely heavenly maidens, and energetic drummers, all backed by an all-new 45-piece live orchestra The Spectacular promises to be a sumptuous feast for the senses. It has been touring North America since early January, but the show at Radio City takes the production to a new level with many of the performances making their world premiere, a 45-piece live orchestra in the pit and a company of over 200 dancers, vocalists, and instrumentalists on stage.
After seeing our production of half this size in California, The San Francisco Chronicle responded, "New Tang Dynasty Television's 'Chinese New Year Spectacular' has spectacle to spare - and a mission to lift the spirits."
The show is truly a medley of cultures and themes incorporating elements of ancient Chinese legends, Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, traditional folk dances of China's different ethnicities, as well as more contemporary stories of Falun Gong which esteems traditional Chinese values but is currently being persecuted in China.
At Radio City people will see Chinese lore, elegant court ladies in opulent Tang fashions, lovely heavenly maidens, energetic drummers, and much, much more.
The civilization of the Tang Dynasty was so magnificent that many believe it could only have been divinely inspired. It is fitting, then, that the 2007 Chinese New Year Spectacular opens with an original "dance drama" in which a Buddha surrounded by angels and fairy maidens gazes down at our world. Deciding to bring virtue to mankind, he descends to the mortal realm as a Tang Emperor, a Son of Heaven. The use of high-tech multimedia will make the audience feel as though they, too, are traveling through the clouds from heaven to earth. From there, the audience is taken on a beautiful and inspiring journey of song and dance like they have never experienced before.
