Cirque Du Soleil - Twas The Night Before

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

Christmas may be behind you, but Saturday night still deserves a reason to get dressed and go out. 'Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil brings daring acrobatics and holiday storytelling to Detroit's Fox Theatre on December 26 at 7:30 PM. The production follows a young girl who has lost her sense of wonder, a theme that feels especially fitting when the holiday rush gives way to a quieter weekend. Sometimes the best surprise arrives after you think the celebration is finished.

Maybe you've felt it yourself—the holiday season slipping into routine, the magic buried under obligations and expectations. 'Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil follows a jaded young girl who's lost touch with wonder, a journey that mirrors the quiet exhaustion so many of us carry this time of year. Inspired by Clement Clarke Moore's beloved poem A Visit from Saint Nicholas, the show puts that rediscovery alongside acrobatic artistry.

This evening is an invitation to share the thrill of live performance with a partner or friends. Watch the precision behind the aerial work, discover how hoop diving and dance fit the story, and hear familiar Christmas music transformed for the stage. The spectacle isn't interchangeable with a video clip; the sense of anticipation belongs to the room. Choose seats for Saturday night and make the post-Christmas weekend feel like an occasion of its own.
