Cirque Du Soleil – 'Twas The Night Before at Wang Theatre

As a premier circus company in the world, Cirque du Soleil has always brought excellent quality shows. From its humble beginnings in Canada in the early 1980s, the company grew to be the world standard of what a great circus production should be. For 37 years, the entertainment company reinvented circus arts and brought joy to over 180 million spectators with diversely unique shows in 450 cities in 60 countries.

This year, Cirque du Soleil brings back the magic of Christmas in its holiday season offering of "'Twas The Night Before…" at the Wang Theatre at Boch Center, Boston. A creative reimagining of Clement Clarke Moore's poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," the show features a protagonist named Isabella who has become jaded about Christmas. With the help of her father, she recaptures the magic of the season by listening to her father read the poem, which sparks her imagination –– and the magic and creativity of Cirque due Soleil enter.

"We usually build an acrobatic skeleton for a show first," says director James Hadley, "But for this show, the poem came first. There are some iconic images, like 'the children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar plums dance in their heads,' that we reference, but there are other moments I hope will surprise audiences."

With this statement from the director himself, we know that this is going to be a memorable show to behold. The "'Twas The Night Before…" production has enchanted close to 300,000 fans since its 2019 debut in Chicago and New York, and it is expected to draw thousands of people in its Boston run this November 25 to December 11.
