[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw it a few years ago...my family was taken by my mother-in-law.  She liked treating us to shows.  We were all excited - I had seen the TV ads and thought it looked fun.  Hadn't googled.

All the cult stuff aside:

1.  Crap production values.  The dancing is not that good, and the costumes are CHEESY.  The big thing was disappearing dancers - there was a short wall in the back and they were able to go over the wall and disappear...supposed to be magical.  Again, cheesy.  
2.  Rampant homophobia!  There was booing. We booed.
3.  Unintentional hilarity.  At one point there was a giant picture of Karl Marx being threatening.  Then there was a giant wave taking him down.  We were ROTFL.  It was unbelievable!

I did not notice homophobia in this year's performance. I am not saying that it was absent, but I can't point to anything that I remember and say it was homophobic. 
I booed the tenor (Gu Yun) who spewed "Behind atheism and evolution, Satan lurks." My wife gave me a look suggesting that it was not the best idea, even though she was also offended by his line. I ended up not booing the soprano (Haolan Geng), even though I felt she deserved some booing as well. [/quote]
