Cirque Du Soleil - Twas The Night Before

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

The holiday magic a girl thought she'd lost returns in a form only live circus storytelling could give it. The same songs, the same routine, the same tired scramble to make the season feel special. Cirque du Soleil – Twas The Night Before offers a different kind of Friday. On November 27, 2026, at 1:00 PM, the Murat Theatre at Old National Centre in Indianapolis becomes the setting for the company's first holiday production, and that alone makes this a rare chance to say you were there at the start.

The story is simple and warm. A girl rediscovers the meaning and magic of the holidays, and the show tells it through circus performance instead of speeches or exposition. Inspired by the poem A Visit from St. Nicholas, the production gives a familiar tale new motion and fresh wonder. You get a reinterpreted holiday soundtrack woven into that circus storytelling, so even songs you think you know may arrive in surprising new colors. It is the kind of show that can pull a skeptical teenager, a restless kid and a grandparent into the same moment of awe.

That makes it a focused, satisfying outing for a seasonal afternoon, with no long break to interrupt the spell. Picture the lights dimming, the story unfolding and everyone beside you sharing the same wide-eyed pause. Make this year's holiday plans something people talk about long after the decorations come down, and reserve your seats for Twas The Night Before in Indianapolis.
