A few of us here at SMB were lucky enough to be able to preview the amazing show KOOZA by Cirque du Soleil for you! If you have never been to a Cirque du Soleil show, you are truly missing out on a fantastic feast for the eyes! Music, singing, dancing, acrobatics, illusions, humor- these shows have it all, and SO much more!
Here is what we thought of our KOOZA experience- in our own words:
LAURA:
Kooza was our first introduction to Cirque de Soleil shows. It was everything I had hoped Cirque du Soleil would be. All of us were very entertained during the entire show, including my 5 year old son. Every seat in the big tent is a great seat. We were 3 rows from the last row and we were still very close to the stage.
My son keeps talking about it and asking me what my favorite part was. He hasn’t quit talking about it since we went. I honestly can’t pick a favorite act, because I really enjoyed it all. His favorite was the skeletons and the men walking, jumping and flipping on the big huge wheels.
My family loved it and we look forward to seeing another Cirque du Soleil show again in the future!
MICHELLE:
My family and I saw the Cirque du Soleil show Kooza this past weekend. While my husband and I have seen 2 other Cirque performances, this was our son’s first introduction. It is so nice that Kooza is appropriate for the entire family! There were people of all ages there and the whole thing is entertaining to young and old! I love that Cirque du Soleil tells a story in between the acrobatic performances. The story caries throughout the whole show and keeps you entertained and laughing while they gear up for the next set of stunts. The audience participation is hilarious and keeps you guessing if you might be their next on-stage “victim”. Very funny. The music is beautiful- performed live on-stage during the show. As far as my favorite acrobatic performance goes, I would have to say that the teeter-totter flippers are really fun to watch! The extreme flexibility of one of the acts made me cringe a little- but, of course, it was truly amazing! When I asked my son what his favorite part was, he replied, “Everything!”. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely and can’t wait until another Cirque du Soleil show rolls into our area!
LESLIE:
This venue was so unique! The entire show site is comprised of several huge tents. The show arena was very intimate and there isn’t a bad seat in the house! All four of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It really is hard to pick one act that we loved the most. The guys on the spinning wheels and the flipping acrobats on stilts were ones that stood out for sure! One tip: Get there early! They do restrict your entrance if you don’t arrive on time- ahem, not that we would know anything about that.

KOOZA from Cirque du Soleil is now playing in Seattle, and friends of the Seattle Moms Blog can receive 50% off children’s tickets for all July 3rd & 4th shows. Bring the whole family for free popcorn, soft drinks and face painting!
KOOZA is performing for a limited engagement under the trademark blue-and-yellow Grand Chapiteau (Big Top) at King County’s Marymoor Park.
KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil: It combines two circus traditions – acrobatic performance and the art of clowning. The show is set in an electrifying and exotic visual world full of surprises, thrills, chills, audacity and total involvement. Truly an adrenaline rush of acrobatics in a crazy kingdom!
Remember this holiday for years to come!
