Cirque Du Soleil Returns to Houston With Its Big Top Production KOOZA, Opening 7/26
By: Kelsey Denette
Cirque du Soleil will return to Houston with a new big top touring show KOOZA. The critically-acclaimed production opens Thursday, July 26 for a limited engagement under the white Big Top at Sam Houston Race Park.
Since its premiere in April of 2007, KOOZA has charmed close to 4 million spectators in North America and Japan. KOOZA marks the 7th visit of a big top show to Houston.
Tickets for KOOZA in Houston are available as of Friday, April 27 at 10 a.m. online at cirquedusoleil.com/kooza.
The name KOOZA is inspired by the Sanskrit word “koza,” which means “box,” “chest” or “treasure,” and was chosen because one of the underlying concepts of the production is the idea of a “circus in a box.”
