Cirque Du Soleil - Twas The Night Before

Cirque Du Soleil - Twas The Night Before at Fox Theatre - Detroit

What if your family's Christmas outing included people flying through the air instead of another trip to the mall? 'Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil turns a familiar holiday feeling into something you can watch from the edge of your seat. A young girl has stopped believing in the season's wonder, and a cast of acrobats gives her journey back to joy a very different kind of stage language. For a Saturday afternoon, that's a much more exciting invitation than simply replaying the same holiday traditions.

A Christmas poem becomes the starting point for acrobatic discovery in ’Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil. Inspired by Clement Clarke Moore's A Visit from Saint Nicholas, the show follows a jaded young girl rediscovering holiday wonder. See the Saturday, December 19, 2026, performance at Fox Theatre in Detroit, beginning at 1:00 PM.

The 1:00 PM performance on December 19 at Detroit's Fox Theatre makes room for a shared afternoon with people who don't always agree on what entertainment should be. Kids can follow the story, adults can marvel at the physical skill, and everyone can recognize the pull of Christmas music. It's the kind of outing where a whispered 'Did you see that?' feels completely natural. Take a look at seats for this Cirque du Soleil matinee and give the weekend a little astonishment.
