Cirque du Soleil’s First Christmas Show to Make Connecticut Debut on Nov. 29
WALLINGFORD, Conn. — “‘Twas the Night Before…” by Cirque du Soleil is a Christmas-themed show inspired by the joy of giving and the wonder of the holiday season, running from Nov. 29 to Dec. 8 at Toyota Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford, Conn. This is the first time a Cirque du Soleil show has performed at the iconic venue.
“‘Twas the Night Before…” is Cirque du Soleil’s first Christmas show, based on the classic poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” by Clement Clarke Moore. Memorable lines from this cherished classic inspired Cirque du Soleil’s story about a jaded young girl who rediscovers the magic of Christmas. A festive flurry of love and cheer created especially for families, the show promises thrilling acrobatics performed by a cast of 26 artists hailing from all over the world, lovable characters, and a soundtrack including Christmas favorites reinvented by Cirque du Soleil.
It’s the holidays, but this year, things are different. For years, Isabella and her father have read “A Visit from Saint Nicholas” together. However, this year, Isabella feels like she’s outgrown the family tradition. But then the magic of the poem comes to life, and Isabella and her father are unexpectedly separated by a snowstorm that sends them on a fantastical journey. In a winter wonderland inspired by the poem, they discover whimsical characters, acrobats, children, and reindeer who reunite father and daughter in the holiday spirit.
Tickets start at $44. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.cirquedusoleil.com/twas-the-night-before.
