Cirque Du Soleil - Twas The Night Before

Cirque Du Soleil - Twas The Night Before at Fox Theatre - Detroit

Christmas Eve is already full of anticipation. 'Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil gives you a way to turn that anticipation into an actual shared experience before the evening festivities begin. The story follows a girl who has lost her sense of holiday magic, while the company's extraordinary performers make a convincing visual argument for finding it again. Aerial artistry and a familiar seasonal theme come together in a show that doesn't depend on being a traditional Christmas musical.

'Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil takes the familiar story of a jaded young girl rediscovering the magic of the season and transforms it into something achingly human. Her rediscovery gives the acrobatics a seasonal theme to follow. The joy of giving is part of that story.

The noon performance on Thursday, December 24 at Detroit's Fox Theatre fits a day when families may want to do something special together without waiting until nightfall. Cirque's reimagined Christmas music provides a warm connection, but the acrobatics are what make the outing feel exceptional. Picture leaving the theatre with everyone talking about a different moment they loved. Consider seats for the Christmas Eve matinee and give the day a memory beyond the presents.
