A festive flurry of love and cheer created especially for families, 'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE.
features thrilling acrobatics, lovable characters - and a soundtrack including holiday classics re-invented by Cirque du Soleil. The show was conceived and is directed by Cirque du Soleil Senior Artistic Director James Hadley, a 25-year veteran of circus productions and live theater. This production is recommended for all audiences including couples, parents, grandparents, and kids alike.
All persons entering the theater, regardless of age, must have a ticket.
