#THEATRE: CIRQUE DU SOLEIL’S “‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE…” BACK DECEMBER 10-JANUARY 2

Presented in partnership with TO Live, Cirque du Soleil’s reimagined Christmas classic returns to Toronto by popular demand!

WHAT:
Get ready to be swept into a magical, upside-down world inspired by the timeless poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” by Clement Clarke Moore — reimagined as only Cirque du Soleil can in its first-ever Christmas production. This exhilarating show transforms the classic tale into an acrobatic winter wonderland filled with laughter, heart, and breathtaking acrobatic feats. When the magic of the poem comes to life, a young girl and her father are unexpectedly separated by a snowstorm that sends them on a fantastical journey through whimsical places and encounters with memorable characters who help them to reignite the holiday spirit and true meaning of Christmas.

‘Twas the Night Before…is a cheerful sing-along, dance-along, and imagine-along extravaganza full of surprises from reindeer hoop divers to breakdancing elves and an awe-inspiring roller-skating duo, blending festive fun and gravity-defying spectacle into a tradition that families will cherish.
