Merriam Theater
Take a journey across oceans and centuries to the world of China's legendary golden age. The Chinese New Year Spectacular includes performances by world-class artists dressed in stunning costumes and surrounded by magnificent stage settings.

Expect to see performances by mythical dragons, heavenly maidens and exhilarating drummers while learning about ancient Chinese culture. Many of the stories and themes for the show come from the ancient legends of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

The Spectacular features original music and dance inspired by the legends that have shaped China's history, while illustrating the essence of the ancient culture: the tradition of paying homage to Buddhas and Gods, respecting heaven and advocating virtue.

The Spectacle tries to bridge classical eastern and western culture and arts in an effort to improve communication and understanding between cultures and ethnic groups.

Regardless of your cultural background, beliefs or ethnicity, the Chinese New Year Spectacular will be a fascinating foray into another world.
