What happens in those bigtop fences just South of the Santa Monica Pier? Cirque du Soleil KOOZA Amazes at the Pier

Cirque du Soleil KOOZA is happening at the Santa Monica Pier now through January 5th. The show is about human connection, with a fun, light and open tone. It's a limited engagement, but you can get your tickets now online.

"I have now seen the show and it was phenomenal," said "Richard" on Social Media. "The entertainment is great. The creativity is amazing. I've been to at least 10 shows over the years first Cirque du Soleil and this is definitely the top two or three."

Cirque du Soleil does not use any animals within the show, viewing this as animal cruelty. Instead, they rely on the strength, acrobatics and charm of around 100 performers.
