About the Show

In Cirque du Soleil’s first Christmas show, a curious girl is whisked away to an upside-down world.

An exhilarating spin on the beloved Christmas classic! The legendary company of Cirque du Soleil presents a holiday message of sharing and friendship that promises to spark lasting memories in the hearts of all families.

Isabella is a curious girl who has become jaded by the hoopla surrounding Christmas, until she is whisked away to an upside-down, inside-out world where she meets characters inspired by the original timeless poem! ‘Twas the Night Before is a flurry of love, Christmas cheer, rip-roaring fun and hugely lovable characters!

Riveting, Must see, Entertaining, Delightful, Absorbing

See it if Enjoy acrobatic shows

Don't see it if You want dialogue in your shows

Enchanting, Refreshing, Masterful, Ambitious, Entertaining

See it if looking for a local cirque show. Some of the acts you may have seen on TV before, but its amazing to watching these talented actors live.

Don't see it if looking for a show with a real story or theme. Comedy was lacking in this cirque.

Entertaining

See it if you just want to have some fun for a couple of hours watching circus like acrobatics.

Don't see it if want a show that has a plot.

Fluffy, Disappointing, Dated, Entertaining

Don't see it if Looking for something special

Delightful, Funny, Fun interoperation, Skilled performers, Great staging

See it if for the fabulous acrobatics, joyous performances and hiphop reworking of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Don't see it if you expect Cirque's traditional in the aisles interactions with the audience. The action is all behind the proscenium.

Great staging, Enchanting, Delightful, Clever, Ambitious

See it if You like kids amazing acrobatics and even a half pipe on stage

Don't see it if You don't like silliness and glitter

Not at all christmasy, Weird, Slow, Disappointing, Confusing

See it if You love shows on roller skates

Don't see it if you are looking for a holiday show (it didn't seem like one to me). I love Cirque Du Soleil in general but i did not like this show.
