Emmy and Academy Award winner Robert Stromberg, the production designer for Avatar and Alice in Wonderland, was among them.
“It’s absolutely beautiful,” he said. “It was so inspiring, I think I may have found some new ideas for the next Avatar.
“It was a very unique performance. It was tremendous to see the wide range of different types of performance art come together as one. It’s really beautiful to see that as one single performance," he said.
As a highly accomplished visual artist, Mr. Stromberg praised “the color, the lights, and the movement.” “The performers were fantastic! I thought it was wonderful,” he added.
Mr. Stromberg said he was inspired by some of the dances: “I especially loved the dances where they synchronized the sounds as well with the costumes and what they’re wearing—the women with the silver and the men with the chopsticks. …
“The environments, the background, the use of color, the use of color and costume together—those types of things were very unique and inspirational,” he said.
As a film professional, Mr. Stromberg felt the unique backdrops added to the performance: “It was an interesting use of an interactive element, which I think, as it develops it, could become a new art form in itself—a live performance mixed with digital projection and maybe 3-D eventually, who knows.
“Using those two techniques together, it would be almost like going to the theater and the movies at the same time,” he said.

this show is at times amazing and other times boring as heck. I'm pretty sure the performers and practically slaves the people who run it. It is sort of like watching a musical at your kid's high school. I recommend it if you have absolutely nothing else to do.
