Cirque Du Soleil - Twas The Night Before

Cirque Du Soleil - Twas The Night Before at Murat Theatre at Old National Centre

This isn't a traditional reading of a Christmas poem. It's a seasonal story told through circus artistry. Cirque du Soleil – Twas The Night Before follows a girl rediscovering the meaning and magic of the holidays, and it tells that story through circus performance. You won't just hear the season described. You'll watch it come alive on stage at the Murat Theatre at Old National Centre in Indianapolis.

It also happens to be Cirque du Soleil's first holiday production, which gives it a one-of-a-kind pull. The inspiration is the poem A Visit from St. Nicholas, a piece of seasonal storytelling many people have known for years. Here it gets a fresh spin, paired with a reinterpreted holiday soundtrack. Familiar spirit, unexpected presentation. If your December traditions could use a spark, that's a compelling reason to buy seats instead of rewatching the same old favorites at home.

The production runs approximately eighty-five minutes without intermission, so the evening stays compact and focused on the story. That makes it an easy plan for a shared seasonal outing with family or friends, and a night you can build around without it swallowing your whole schedule. The Indianapolis engagement runs November 25–29, 2026, and this performance begins at 7:00 PM on November 25. Come together, step away from the to-do lists, and make a memory you'll bring up again next year. Ready to plan your holiday night out? Grab your seats for Twas The Night Before in Indianapolis.
