Cirque Du Soleil - Twas The Night Before

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

There's a strange lull after Christmas, when the big day is over but you're not quite ready to return to normal life. 'Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil fills that gap with an afternoon of daring performance and seasonal imagination. Its story of rediscovering wonder may land differently after the presents have been opened, when the best part of the holiday is often simply being together. The company's acrobats give that feeling a vivid, physical form.

Christmas music provides a familiar connection inside ’Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil. The soundtrack reinvents seasonal favorites alongside acrobatics and dance, giving you a different way to enjoy songs associated with the holiday. Inspired by Clement Clarke Moore's A Visit from Saint Nicholas, the production follows a jaded young girl as she rediscovers holiday wonder.

At 4:00 PM on Saturday, December 26, Detroit's Fox Theatre offers an outing that doesn't ask anyone to sit through another familiar movie. Come for the aerial straps, hoop diving or hair suspension; stay for the way music and movement turn a holiday theme into a live experience. The soundtrack revisits Christmas favorites without merely repeating them. Look over ticket options and make the quiet stretch after Christmas a little more extraordinary.
