Mr. Chao has watched near one thousand other shows in Taiwan. He said, "During the program changes, the performers acted swiftly and without any hesitation. Between programs, the hosts gave explanations in both Chinese and English. The two hosts have done a very good job. The dancers have high level skills."
Of the music, he said, "Shows generally use recorded music. But this show is special and has a live orchestra on the spot, making one feel it is very real."
Mr. Chao praised the backdrops, the design of which was integrated with the program creating a great effect.
Mr. Chao said, "This show has lots of cultural content. I especially like the programs with cultural content, such as 'Monk Ji Gong Abducts the Bride' and 'Mulan Joins the Battle,' which are real stories in history. On the backdrop, there were some explanations or translations and the audience could understand everything right away.
He also said that there must be much logistic support for such a huge show, such as marketing and ticketing, "Thus I give my highest respect to those working behind the scenes for the DPA show."
