Cirque Du Soleil Returns to Washington, DC with its Latest Big Top Production KOOZA

Washington D.C., June 4, 2008

Cirque du Soleil will return to the Washington D.C. area at a new location with its latest touring production KOOZA, set to open on Thursday, October 30, 2008. KOOZA will perform at The Plateau at National Harbor under the trademark blue-and-yellow Grand Chapiteau (big top) for a limited engagement. Tickets will be available Sunday, June 8 at 9:00 a.m.

 
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.

Performance Schedule:
Tuesdays thru Thursdays at 8:00 p.m.
Fridays and Saturdays at 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
Sundays at 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
No performances on Mondays

Children (ages 2-12 years): $38.50 to $87.50
Students and Seniors: $49.50 to $112.50 (Tuesday-Thursdays and Fridays 4pm)

NOTE: Courtesy shuttles will be available to transport guests prior, during and

National Harbor, and the hotels. 

A VIP Tapis Rouge™ package includes one of the best seats in the house, as well as access to the VIP suite one hour before the show and during intermission. The adult package is available for $215 and the child package for $150.50 (ages 2-12). Prices include taxes.
