’Twas the night before showtime, and all through the town,
The lights of the theater were twinkling down.
Families were stirring, the holiday near,
For Cirque du Soleil’s magic was finally here!

Get ready Milwaukee, for the return of Cirque du Soleil’s ’Twas the Night Before… at the Miller High Life Theatre, November 26–30.

This isn’t your typical holiday show… Cirque du Soleil productions captivate millions of theatergoers around the globe each year, and ‘Twas the Night Before… marks the company’s first holiday show. Inspired by the classic poem “A Visit from Saint Nicholas” by Clement Clarke Moore, memorable lines from the cherished tale sparked Cirque’s story about a jaded young girl who rediscovers the magic of the holidays. With only eight performances in Milwaukee, ‘Twas the Night Before… is a festive flurry of love and cheer created especially for families, featuring the incredible acrobatics Cirque du Soleil is known for – from a mesmerizing aerial straps duo and daring hoop diving, to gravity-defying air suspension and high-energy dancing, performed by a cast of 26 artists from all over the world. The show also features lovable characters and a soundtrack including Christmas favorites re-invented by Cirque du Soleil.

Whether you’re five, 50, or 95, be wowed by the incredible acrobatics and heartwarming story of this dazzling production. Inspired by the joy of giving and the wonder of the holidays, it’s a show that will spark lasting memories for audiences of all ages.
