Was just a really good and pleasant evening. The show itself is amazing and words alone will never be able to quite do justice when trying to describe the experience as a whole.. "Head Out" made the entire booking and ticketing experience as easy as could be which also adds to the pleasurable experience from buying the tickets on line through their website or app, through to the no fuss availability of being digitally streamlined, so no need to print anything off or stop at the box office anywhere to collect your tickets a d having to produce I.D. or anything of the sort simply paid online, got to sit and pick our desired seating which couldn't have been better and then really quickly and easily, open the PDF containing the tickets on my phone for the staff at the big top to scan and direct us into where we needed to be. Will definitely be at the next cirque du Soleil and will definitely be using "Head Our" to securey booking.. Thankyou to everyone involved for a great night out..

Walking along the footpath towards Kooza I finally spotted the big top, "My goodness, I feel like I am going to Disneyland," I said to my husband. I wasn't disappointed, the children and adults heading inside all sounded as excited as I. Once seated the excitement of the crowd grew, it seemed a living thing, adults and children as loud and giddy with anticipation equally. I wasn't disappointed, the acts were electrifying, everything we had expected and so much more, from the high wire feats that had me gasping to my favourite performer with the stacking chairs, he had be holding my breath from start to finish, I could hear my husband beside me saying," Good grief .. oh my God, Oh Wow". A sensational show. I would advise one thing, try to chose a seat opposite the performers entry curtains for the very best view of everything. P.S Grear popcorn!!!

Cirque du Soleil Kooza was an amazing emmersive theatrical experience which made full use of lighting effects, music and sound, and ethereal set design to frame incredible and jaw dropping examples of human performances of acrobatic skill, comic acting, drama, and death defying feats which challenge the human mind about what is possible and the extreme demonstrations of physical strength, grace, coordination, and refined talent. There is sliterally no words that can properly express what the experience of Kooza was like. It was an experience I will never forget, and was as fresh and exciting as the previous shows I have seen in the past.

This was my third Cirque du Soleil show, and once again they absolutely delivered. Every production leaves me in awe, and KOOZA was no exception. The costumes, music, and performances are all world-class. The talent of every performer is incredible, and the atmosphere created through the stunning visuals and live music completely draws you into the experience. What I loved most about KOOZA was its beautiful story. It reminded me that there is so much wonder to be found in the ordinary if we're willing to look for it. It was magical, inspiring, and an unforgettable experience. I can't wait for the next Cirque du Soleil show!

Every act was excellent however for us the stand out performance was the three very tiny girls that interacted with each other to perform very difficult moves that were mind blowing, each performer was top class and a true outstanding artist the venue was very comfortable and we chose to sit in the front row and were very rewarded for this decision as we were able to see just how diffucult the various moves and positions performed were.Many years ago we saw the show but a second viewing just endorsed our original perception that it is an outstanding event unequeled congratulations to all connected for a job well done.

The atmosphere and sheer wow factor made the performance truly unforgettable. From the moment the show began, the energy, music, costumes and staging created such an immersive experience. The trapeze performances were breathtaking, particularly the bicycle act high above the stage, and the Wheel of Death was an absolute standout. The level of skill, precision and trust between the performers was incredible to witness live. There were so many moments that genuinely had the audience holding their breath, and the combination of thrilling acts, humour and overall production made KOOZA a truly memorable experience.

A Cirque du Soleil original, Kooza blends breathtaking acrobatics with slapstick clowning, making it a must-see for thrill-seekers and families alike.

The show has wowed audiences worldwide with rave reviews and is celebrated for its return to Cirque’s roots of jaw-dropping stunts and physical comedy.

Expect gravity-defying feats, vibrant costumes, and a live band—all wrapped up in a whimsical world. Book your Kooza Melbourne tickets for a circus spectacle like no other!

Playing under the iconic Big Top at Flemington Race Course, this limited-run show is a high-demand event that critics call a visual feast.

The story

Step into a fantastical realm where a naïve Innocent is swept into a world of eccentric characters, dazzling acrobats, and mischievous clowns. As the Innocent navigates this surreal circus universe, he encounters both wonder and chaos, discovering courage and joy in unexpected places. With each act, the line between reality and fantasy blurs—will the Innocent find his place, or will the circus spirit sweep him away?

Tyto vstupenky nelze zrušit ani u nich změnit termín.

This was one of our bucket list items for a long time since our daughter was born and we wanted to take her here once she turns at least 5 years old so she can understand and enjoy this experience...and it surely made a wonderful memory for us as a family. Loved how engaging each and every character and act was performed. Also loved the live orchestra playing the background music. Will definitely love to visit again when Cirque du Soleil returns back to Melbourne.

The lights, stage and performers were all wonderful. Telling a story without words but actions, allowing the audience to use their imagination was awesome. Beautiful visual art, amazing live band and singers bought this drama to life. We are fans and will support this event every year. Thank you from Melbourne.
