I want nothing more than to go to the one in Cheyenne and see who goes to an anticommunist Chinese ballet in Wyoming. I even have my "I lost my virginity at Shen Yun 2022" shirt for a thumbs up photo with the cast.

Presumably Cheyenne still has the same brand of upper-middle-class clueless white people that every city in the US has?

afaik the Trump cult hasn't embraced Shen Yun/Falun Gong the way that they've embraced Trump

Potentially it's just generic white people who think it's any other ballet, but that in itself would be the baseline for fun people-watching. That's a four page booklet where the entire last page is dedicated to anticommunism, so I'm hopeful it's going to be motivated anticommunists of some kind even if I don't anticipate it being a Trump rally.
