Cirque Du Soleil Returns to Houston with KOOZA, 7/26

Cirque du Soleil returns to Houston with a new big top touring show KOOZA. The critically acclaimed production opens on Thursday, July 26 for a limited engagement under the white Big Top at Sam Houston Race Park.

Specially-priced tickets for KOOZA in Houston are now exclusively available to Cirque Club members at cirqueclub.com. Membership is free and registration is quick and simple. Cirque Club members receive advance access to the best seats under the Grand Chapiteau, ticket upgrades, partner promotions and insider information on the world of Cirque du Soleil. The general public on-sale is set for Friday, April 27, 2012.

Since its world-premiere in Montreal in April 2007, KOOZA has charmed close to 4 million spectators in North America and Japan. 2012 marks the return of KOOZA in North America after touring more than one year in Japan; the show will make its first stop in Phoenix, AZ as of June 8, 2012 before heading to Texas, in Houston as of July 26, 2012 and in Dallas as of September 19, 2012.

Directed by David Shiner KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil that combines two circus traditions - acrobatic performance and the art of clowning. The show highlights the physical demands of human performance in all its splendor and fragility, presented in a colorful mélange that emphasizes bold slapstick humor.
