text: I bought tickets to Kooza for my family of four including a year old and a year old Because this was my first cirque traveling show and four of us were going I decided to get the cheaper outer area seats the ones that are a piece nnOne thing that they do not mention and you should know is that the cheaper corner seats are obstructed view actually even the next price level up for the rows in front of the cheap seats are obstructed You will have a giant view of a support pole the entire performance The performers move around a bit so it does not effect the entire show but it certainly is not comfortable or enjoyable when you cannot see I wish they would have mentioned thisnnOn to the show If you are new to Cirque and your only point of reference is Ringling brothers then you will probably like this show that is if you like clowns David Shiner the creator and a Cirque clown definitely has quite a bit of clowning acts in the show I actually thought it went way overboard For me clowns should offer light entertainment between what I consider the meat of the performance the acrobatics and the story Kooza is extremely heavy in long drawn out clown performances that wear you down and make you lose interest I remember sitting there hoping the clowns would leave the stage so they could get on to the live music acrobatics anything nnThe performance itself is and a half hours with a minute intermission which is a lengthy performance If you have ever been to Vegas the shows typically run minutes without intermission and they are packed for beginning to end The seats are travel seats and can get uncomfortable after awhile especially when you are craning your neck to see what is going on behind the polennThe acrobatics are typically where Cirque shines and in this case the performers are great they just happen to do most of what you have seen before at Ringling like the highwire the spinning dual wheel etc etc Do not get me wrong there are some amazing acts and some hints of Cirque sneaking out here and there with the live music beautiful costumes and psychedelic acting but for the most part the performances were to short and the clowning to long nnOverall I may have been to hard on this performance because I just watched Mystere in Vegas at Treasure Island and it was utterly mind blowing Kooza in comparison was a much different experience one which I could not really get the pulse on nor really get drawn into It did not flow together well and felt to choppy but again this could have been because I was blown away by Mystere which is a well oiled machine at this point The best comment to sum up Kooza came from my wife a first time viewer who you would expect to be blown away by the amazing Cirque du Soleil but as she said I just thought I would be overwhelmed it was okay which is a comment you would never hear after a Vegas performance nnFYIThere is some adult content so if your kids are sensitive to this you might as well leave them home but overall I found the performances tame and the adult content minimal
