Cirque du Soleil KOOZA in Brisbane was absolutely incredible and an unforgettable experience from start to finish! The atmosphere was electric, the costumes were stunning, and the performers were unbelievably talented. Every act had me on the edge of my seat, wondering how on earth they could do what they were doing. The acrobatics, strength, flexibility and perfectly timed performances were breathtaking. The music, lighting and incredible stage production brought everything together and made the entire show feel magical. It was exciting, funny, visually spectacular and full of moments that left the audience amazed. You can truly see the dedication, skill and passion that goes into every performance. I would highly recommend KOOZA to anyone visiting Brisbane. It’s the kind of experience that stays with you long after the show ends, and I would happily go again!

KOOZA by Cirque du Soleil – An Absolutely Amazing Experience! 🤩👏 From the moment we drove into the car park to the moment we drove out, everything was seamless! The entry and exit process was incredibly smooth, and the staff were amazing, friendly and welcoming. There were no long queues for food or at the memorabilia shop, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The acrobatics were absolutely fantastic! 👏 I couldn’t believe the incredible contortions the girls were able to achieve. Their strength, stamina, flexibility and overall performance were truly outstanding. An amazing experience from start to finish! Congratulations to everyone involved in KOOZA by Cirque du Soleil for putting on such a spectacular show. We can’t wait for the next show in Australia! 🤩👏

The show far exceeded our expectations, the performers defied what you think is humanly possible, with grace beauty and chic French style. A beautiful, constantly mesmerising and filled with warmth and humour. Also, the big top tents are the perfect size for being close to the action from every seat. Loved this show !! Thank you

The performers were sensational entertaining and so talented. The live music singers and band created such a fun high energy vibe and this matched the performances throughout the night. The acrobatics and shows on stage were enthralling and adding an audience member to the stage was also wonderful.

We had a great time as a family. The quality of the performance was amazing, and the whole experience made it truly unforgettable for us. The food was quite expensive, but the quality was good. A little more variety in the food options would make the experience even better.
