The Good:
Overall the show was entertaining. The live band and singing was dynamic. Pretty much a good seat no matter where you sit.
The Bad:
Don't wear pretty shoes for this event...since parking is on the dirt and walking through the grassy areas...there were many uneven parts..so high heels...um no!
There were some parts that were really slow...sometimes the music was a bit too loud.
The will call is super long...not very efficient...so arrive early for your tickets.
Not your normal circus. Definitely suggest this to anyone who enjoys acrobats, contortonists, gymnasts, dancers, etc... Very wildly entertaining. Every seat in the house is a great view. We sat near the top about 5 rows from the ceiling and we had a fantastic view of the entire stage. I enjoyed this show immensely. Great music that is their own btw, soundtrack available for purchase. Great dancers, just as good as a cirque du soleil show in Las Vegas.
I loved the show.
My favorite act was a very sexy acrobatic number performed by a couple- the sailor & his beloved.
I went to see Cirque Berzerk last year, and saw some of the shows they did before that when they were just starting out. I am really impressed with where they have taken the show. It has gone from something very small to something that is in the same league as Cirque du Soleil. Cirque Berzerk has it's own distinct character and vibe that is all it's own. What a huge achievement, and in so little time!
The live music is wonderful, and is mixed live as well. The staging was excellent, and the overarching storyline was tight and well executed.
I highly recommend that you see this fabulous show!

It’s been called everything from "a circus on acid" to "French burlesque meets Sweeney Todd." Cirque Berzerk's unique flavor of adult psychedelic vaudevillian tomfoolery returns to the Los Angeles State Historic Park. Born at Burning Man in 2005 and named one of “L.A.’s 10 Weirdest Events of 2008” by the Los Angeles Times, Cirque Berzerk has tickled the collective innards of L.A. and beyond with a psychotically-tinged sultry show filled with sinewy, breathtaking acrobatics, sensual aerialists, gothic stilt walkers, fetishy burlesque dancers, voluptuous contortionists and a host of punk rock clowns, none of whom know how to make cute balloon animals for the kiddies. "Wholesome family fun" it ain't.
