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* comes to the Murat Theatre at Old National Centre in Indianapolis on November 28 at 1:00 PM. It is Cirque du Soleil's first holiday production, which makes this afternoon feel like a true first for the season, not a repeat of something you've already seen.

At the center of the story is a girl rediscovering the meaning and magic of the holidays. That's a feeling most of us want back once the shopping lists pile up and the calendar fills. Here, it arrives through circus performance rather than words alone. The touring production pairs its acrobatic storytelling with a reinterpreted holiday soundtrack, inspired by the poem A Visit from St. Nicholas. Familiar roots, fresh imagination. You get the warmth of the season and the thrill of watching something staged in a way you didn't expect.

That's a full theatrical experience in one smooth, immersive stretch, ideal for sharing with family or friends on a Saturday afternoon in late November. No long evening, no break in the spell. Just you, the people you love, and a story told in motion. Some of the sounds and lighting may be bold or dim at moments, so plan accordingly. If you want a holiday memory that feels bigger than the usual routine, reserve your seats for the Indianapolis performance here.
