Returning to the San Diego Fairgrounds under the blue and yellow Big top is Cirque Du Soleil's newest show KOOZA. The word KOOZA means box or chest in old Sanskrit, and is precisely what we got to see at last night's preview show: A treasure trove of wonder-filled acts of daring and elegant human feats.
From the opulent costumes and exquisite make-up, to the live mystical-sounding musical scores, KOOZA had the audience riveted to their seats during the three hour extravaganza showcasing a return to established circus acts like Contortionists, High- wire acrobatic performances and traditional clowns injecting humor between skits using, what else, audience members!
The interactive show supplied laughs from a variety of comedic performances – I especially liked the professional pickpocket who incredibly 'stole' a gentleman's wallet, watch, cell phone and tie while simply talking him through a magic trick on stage. It was astonishing!
Make the time to go see KOOZA, it's is a show the family will enjoy!
(I little word of caution: A few references to body parts may not be suitable for younger children. Also, due to new FTC regulations I have to disclose I received two complimentary tickets to the show.)
I recently took my family to Kooza as a birthday surprise to my husband and daughter when it was up in Irvine, CA. We absolutely loved it! Great family entertainment!
Hi Pauline, I'm glad you liked it, too. I wish I could take my kids one of these days.
Thanks for popping by!
