Great
Wonderful
spectacular and heart-stopping
Fabulous acrobatics by superb athletes presented with drama and flair. Our party included two children, their parents and grandparents and we were unanimous in our praise and excitement. Most of us don't risk our health and lives doing our jobs. These performers do and they manage to convincingly signal their enthusiasm and craft. Bravo. Bravo. Bravo. dramatic
KOOZA SF 4pm, 1-19
We’ve seen Cirque at least 6 times and it’s always wonderful. My 9 yr old granddaughter loved it, and that’s what mattered most to me. That said, at the intermission, they announced a “technical difficulty†would delay the start of the second half. The result was no use of the suspended “wheels of death†and a tedious drum solo (I’ve never had tolerance for drum solos, even when it was Keith Moon). All this with no explanation. Everyone could see the wheel rig hanging above the stage. I didn’t feel ill-used but would have appreciated a more straightforward sharing of why.

Went to Kooza in Toronto , was not so impressed . Got a little tired of watching two guys chasing a crown around and no one went on the wheel of death , action was a minimal bit boring - and $9 dollars for hotdog and $35 dollars to park
Acrobatics 5/5, but too much boring filler material.
First cirque show that I felt was not worth the money. The acrobatic performances were outstanding but unfortunately majority of the time was taken up with filler material from the mimes/clowns who were not the least bit funny or entertaining. For the price of the tickets I was expecting to see a full show of top notch acrobatics, instead half the show felt like cheap children's party entertainment.
Amazing performers, but it lacks the artistic and cohesive visión that envelopes the entire narrative of the show.
I have seen Luzia and Alegria, and my mind was blown over and over again with them. However, Kooza was really dissapointing. The emotional artistry of the first 2 shows was so well crafted and all acts were interwoven into each other for a massive climax of characters, music and emotion. I shed tears during Alegria. None of that is part of Kooza. This show was just a regular circus with extremely high level performers. But no big scale story to hook you in. Save your money. Cirque Du Soleil has much better to offer.
