Marking Cirque du Soleil's first venture into holiday-themed entertainment, 'Twas the Night Before... is inspired by the renowned poem "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" penned by Clement Clarke Moore. This beloved literary piece has given birth to a Cirque narrative centered around a disenchanted young girl who finds her way back to the enchantment of the festive season. Crafted specifically with families in mind, the show brims with exciting acrobatics, charming characters, and a unique musical arrangement of seasonal favorites, all reimagined by Cirque du Soleil. Veteran Senior Artistic Director of Cirque du Soleil, James Hadley, who has 25 years of experience in circus productions and live theater, conceptualized and directed this awe-inspiring show.

'Twas the Night Before... is a resplendent experience that offers something special for every family member, serving as an excellent gateway into the extraordinary world of Cirque du Soleil for new audiences. This sparkling creation, filled with the spirit of generosity and the marvel of the holiday season, pledges to ignite enduring memories in the hearts of children and adults alike. Regardless of age, be it five or 95, spectators can anticipate being mesmerized by the astonishing acrobatics and touching narrative that await them this holiday season.
