About Cirque du Soleil: Twas The Night Before

'Twas the Night Before... by Cirque du Soleil is back at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in December 2025, transforming the venue into a winter wonderland for all ages. Get 'Twas the Night Before... tickets on New York Theatre Guide and experience the magic of Christmas in NYC with breathtaking acrobatics, heartwarming storytelling, and plenty of holiday spirit.

'Twas the Night Before... reimagines Clement Clarke Moore's classic poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas," better known as "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," with acrobatics, stunts, and spectacle in tried-and-true Cirque fashion. The story takes place before Santa even arrives, centering around a curious girl named Isabella who no longer gets excited about Christmas as everyone else seems to. That all changes when she's thrust into a world where classic Christmas characters from the poem come to life. With tricks and plenty of holiday magic, these characters let Isabella look at Christmas in a whole new way, and it will have the same effect on audiences, too.

Cirque du Soleil was founded in 1984 in Montreal, Canada and has since achieved worldwide fame with its high-flying circus shows. The company's shows have received, all in all, three Drama Desk Awards, seven Primetime Emmy Awards, a Daytime Emmy Award, a Juno Award, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, an induction into Canada's Walk of Fame, and more. 'Twas the Night Before... is the latest of nearly 50 shows in Cirque du Soleil's global performance history.
