Kooza Cirque Du Soleil

Clearly the costumes and the acts are out dated. This is one of there older shows. I have seen many others that way better. I wouldn’t normally complain but tickets are not cheap.

The acrobatics at Kooza were incredible — the performers were truly talented — but the clowns ruined everything. They seriously disrupted the flow of the show and they distracted the audience from the main event. If they had only appeared a few times, I could have handled it, but I seemed to see more of them than the acrobats. Not good.
I’d love to see another Cirque Du Soleil performance if it didn’t involve those cheesy clowns.

I have always enjoyed Cirque Du Soleil shows. This was no exception. Under the big top is the way to see it. The performers are amazingly talented and funny. The location was a little difficult to find, we drove around in a circle twice before finding where to turn. Some signs would have helped. The intermission lines for food/​drinks were outrageous with only one bartender. There was not even enough time to wait in line then finish your drink, not to mention waiting in line for the bathroom, although I will commend them for having the nicer port-​0-​potties.
The music was good but I didn’t think this one lived up to the previous shows I’ve attended. Kooza had more sexual innuendo than I have ever noticed before. The first few times were okay but as it continued throughout the show it became uncomfortable especially for the younger kids in my section. I found myself wondering what if anything the kids would ask their parents about those parts of the show and being thankful I hadn’t brought my son.
Over all a great show, will definitely continue to enjoy the Cirque Du Soleil experience.

Hooray! wow what an amazing show. I’ve been to two Cirque shows and both times they’ve been the best live performance I’ve ever seen! Tickets are kinda steep but there really is not bad seat in the house, so go for the cheap tickets. Drinks were $ 9 once inside the big top and after my first sip I was wondering where the rest of the drink was. Small cups to say the least.

**WARNING** Parking is $ 10 cash… several patrons appeared not to know this and were pulled to the side amidst the mad rush to get in… trying to find cash in their glove compartments. I wasn’t aware of the fee but luckily did have it on me. There aren’t any signs until you get right up in there and can’t turn around.
This is my 7^th Cirque show and unfortunately this was the worst of the 7. If I’d never been to a cirque… I’d probably give it a 3.5 but the comparison is already there in my mind. (Saltimbanco, O, Mystere, Ka, Zumanity, Dralion and even though it isn’t cirque… Absinthe)
The largest flaw to me was the fact that TWO of the acts were next to identical to another show I’ve been to (Absinthe) where they do the exact same tight-​rope chair trick and the same chair stacking-​balance act. The high wire tricks are the same (both culminating in the chair) and the high wire artists fell off the wire in their performance at Kooza. The chair stacking was the same, possibly one or two more chairs in this one, but in Kooza the chairs were stacked vertically all the way up where in Absinthe the degree of difficulty appeared to be harder with several angled chairs.
Throughout the show there were three slip-ups…not sure what the normal amount is but I haven’t seen that many at a cirque show before… at least not so obvious ones.
The comedians drag this show down a notch as well. The man with the yellow ball trick was not impressive and his slights of hand were obvious to row ~19 or so that I was in. The audience plants were extremely obvious. I know they use plants for these things… they always do… but these three made it painfully obvious. (A small black child in baseball gear, a cute and casually dressed young brunette woman, and a mid 30s white male in a business suit with a wallet, paper, tie, and cell phone in his pockets). One of the three main clowns was mildly amusing. The child with the kite was endearing… so that was one plus.
It’s a travelling show so the sets aren’t as elaborate as the Vegas productions… expected that one. The seats are pretty uncomfortable. The parking was a pain both getting in and getting out. It’s a show so you can get a $ 9 beer or $ 11 glass of wine, popcorn, hot dogs, etc. There’s a 30 minute intermission. It’s all inside of a tent but it is heated and airconditioned so you’l be comfortable. The parking lot is kind of a mess… don’t wear heels. Good for children… there might have been one dodgy joke in there somewhere.
If this is your first Cirque… go see it. If you’ve seen some before… this one won’t be memorable.

We have seen several Cirque Du Soleil shows, and are never disappointed. Kooza maintained the high standard for sure. I’m always amazed that they have a huge tent that they truck around the country and the degree of acrobatics is not limited. They still manage to hang from the ceiling, disappear through the floors, and incorporate all other variety of tricks into their show. The sheer talent of the performers deserves 5 stars just by itself. The music was a bit lacking, possibly because of the portable equipment, because it was somewhat distorted and difficult to understand the words. However, that isn’t really the focus of the show anyway.
Overall, this is a great show and I highly recommend it. Of all the Cirque du Soleil shows I’ve seen, it ranks somewhere in the middle, but you don’t really have the luxury of choosing when it comes to your city, you know. If you have time to catch it before it leaves, check it out.

Went to the show this past week with 3 friends and all I can say is… GREAT SHOW!
First things first, getting here was a pain! I’m not quite sure if it was my friend who was driving’s fault, the navigation’s fault, or Kooza’s fault for being in an area that can only be seen from afar but not found. Just work your way to the Omni and you’ll find it.
I thoroughly enjoyed the show, and as a disclaimer for everyone, the show’s in a tent. Some people were complaining about the seats being uncomfortable, and my answer to that is… be in awe of the fact we’re sitting in a tent with A/​C, watching people walk on tight ropes many meters in the air, balancing on furniture that seems nearly impossible, contorting their bodies into positions the physical body should not do… in other words… if they’re able to do that for our enjoyment, endure the 3 hours of «discomfort» have a beer and enjoy.
Other than that, the show has its moments of «oohs» and «aahs» as well as moments that really got me laughing. I believe livingsocial still has a deal, so go pick up a ticket and have yourself a good time!

I’ve been to three Cirque Du Soleil shows now, this ranging in the middle when ranking. The other two were seen in Vegas and the main difference is the size of the venue. I truly thought that all seats were created equal because there is so much to see but here there were large pillars occasionally in the way of seeing the whole performance.
I liked that this told a story and there was a lot to see but there were children there and sometimes slightly more adult content. I do think I’ve seen a Cirque show that had more fluidity to it so I liked that one better.
Humorous, entertaining, I’d go see the next in town and would recommend seeing this. They offer tickets discounted for students and military, just pick seats in the middle of a section to avoid the pillar issue.

Rainy Days make great shows! Decided to take in the Kooza show this past weekend and was HAPPY i did! The show was AMAZING and everything I expected from Cirque Soleil. I have been to many shows in Vegas and was a little hesitate to see the one in Dallas. Although, i did think it was cool to be under the BIG TOP. I was super expressed with the production and the TALENT! WOWZER! The performers were so darn talented!!! The food and drinks were great and the service was also 5 star!
