Cirque Du Soleil - Twas The Night Before

Cirque Du Soleil - Twas The Night Before at Murat Theatre at Old National Centre

A familiar Christmas poem becomes a moving, acrobatic holiday adventure in Twas the Night Before. Shopping, schedules, traffic, leftovers. Then a night arrives that reminds you why the season ever mattered. On November 27, 2026, at 7:00 PM, Cirque du Soleil - Twas The Night Before brings that kind of night to the Murat Theatre at Old National Centre in Indianapolis.

This is Cirque du Soleil's first holiday production, and that makes it a rare chance to see the company step into seasonal storytelling. The show follows a girl rediscovering the meaning and magic of the holidays. It draws its inspiration from the poem A Visit from St. Nicholas, so the story feels familiar, yet the circus performance gives it a fresh, theatrical shape. You are not just hearing a holiday tale. You are watching it come alive in front of you, with a reinterpreted holiday soundtrack carrying the feeling from scene to scene.

It also fits real life. The production runs approximately eighty-five minutes without intermission, which makes it a focused, satisfying outing for a family, a group of friends or a date night built around the season. Take the people who make the holidays feel like the holidays. Family-oriented does not mean silent or always bright, so expect a true live production with its own dramatic moments. If you want your holiday plans to include something wonderfully different in Indianapolis, reserve your seats for Twas The Night Before today.
