This event was VERY cool. Some amazingly talented people. Really loved it and even a seat in the balcony was good. It had humor, style, and adventure. That mechanical talking dog was a hoot too. I had a really great time watching this show.Written on Dec 05 2007

Tremendous disappointment!Written on Nov 30 2007
After reading several glowing reviews of the Circus Oz, I was expecting a non-traditional circus with "death-defying" acts, very funny performers, and great music. While the music was good, the acrobatic and juggling acts were third rate when comparing them with both traditional circuses and Cirque du Soleil-type circuses I have seen. The performers started out amusing, but quickly went downhill. It was an extremely boring 2:15 hours.
Goldstar provided good orchestra seats, but that couldn't save a pedestrian, unimaginative show.

After reading the handful of reviews posted about this event, and having attended many other circus/acrobatic events in the past beyond just Cirque, I thought I was in for a treat. It was my wife's birthday and this was the main stage event.Written on Dec 03 2007
As soon as we arrived to our seats, which were great, I began to wonder about my choice. The acrobatics were OK, as was the other stunts, but it felt like they could have benefited from lots more rehearsals. Then there were the fart jokes, and the mechanical dog showing off his balls. That was more than I had expected and it seemed really out of place. I like a dick joke as much as the next person, but I was not going to stand-up comedy, much less mechanical dog comedy.
Overall, it seemed like they did not have as many tricks up their sleeve as we might hope, and so we were disappointed and scooted out at intermission.
I will say this though, the guy who played the main MC was fantastic. He was funny, was an amazing juggler and kept us interested. Would I go again, definitely not. Have I sworn off circus performances, absolutely not, just won't be telling anyone about this. Mostly, I am surprised that Zellerbach would have such a show of less than shimmering accolade.
