Once scheduled to be released on November 1, 2007 along with the Wintuk CD, we’re happy to say that fans no longer have to wait for the music of Koozå! From Cirque’s website:

The music of KOOZA beautifully demonstrates the spirit of the live show with it’s themes of human connection and fun in a world of duality. With a stream of uplifting songs with timeless influences where forms and styles intertwine seamlessly, the music of KOOZA is inspired by the sounds of western pop culture, from 1970s funk to full orchestral arrangements. It also draws heavily on traditional indian music.

We’re getting back into the swing of things here – news wise – after returning from a weekend in Seattle for Cirque du Soleil’s Corteo. One of the news items released recently that has caught my eye we find to be very interesting indeed. What might that be? That MSG/Cirque du Soleil has plans to tour their seasonal show Wintuk nationally throughout the United States starting with the 2010 season. From the article:

Madison Square Garden Entertainment’s plan to launch a touring arena version of its Radio City Christmas Spectacular is the latest move in an increasingly aggressive strategy that will see the company launch other tours in the next few years. […] If the Spectacular tour reaches projections north of $30 million, it is likely that MSGE will remain bullish in this market. In fact, a touring version of the MSGE/Cirque du Soleil production “Wintuk,” which debuted in 2007 at the WaMu Theatre at MSG, will mount a national tour in 2010.
