Twas the Night Before - By Cirque du Soleil on Broadway Background
This festive show is about the wonders of sharing and friendship and promises to spark lasting memories in the hearts of families this holiday season. Clement C. Moore wrote the original poem that this show is based on.
How A Factual Original Story Came To Be
On Christmas Eve in 1822, Clement Moore went out to buy presents for his wife and family and they waited for him to return. Before he left on his shopping expedition, he wrote the poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” which is a long poem that he would read to his family later that evening. Moore inexplicably never returned to the family house and was never seen again. The family cherished the poem and later published it.
Premiere and Setting
The show debuted in 2019 at New York City’s Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden, blending classic holiday imagery with Cirque’s trademark acrobatics, dance, and live music.
Story and Characters
The narrative follows a young girl named Isabella who embarks on a magical journey, rediscovering the joy of the holidays through encounters with vibrant characters and breathtaking aerial acts.
Production Style
Unlike Cirque’s large-scale touring productions, this show is crafted for an intimate theater setting, combining high-energy performances with whimsical stage design.
