Cirque Du Soleil - Twas The Night Before

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

The holiday magic a girl thought she'd lost returns in a form only live circus storytelling could give it. On November 29, 2026 at 3:00 PM, Cirque du Soleil - Twas The Night Before comes to the Murat Theatre at Old National Centre in Indianapolis, and it brings something new: Cirque du Soleil's very first holiday production. That alone makes it worth marking on the calendar.

The story is simple and warm. A girl rediscovers the meaning and magic of the holidays, and the show tells it through circus performance rather than words alone. Inspired by the poem A Visit from St. Nicholas, it takes a tale you may have known since childhood and gives it a bold new stage life. Even if you can recite the poem, you have not seen it told this way. The touring production also pairs its circus artistry with a reinterpreted holiday soundtrack, so familiar seasonal feeling meets fresh surprise.

The production runs approximately eighty-five minutes with no intermission. That makes it a tidy, wonderful centerpiece for a shared seasonal outing, whether you're gathering relatives, treating friends, or finally starting a new tradition. No long night. No lost momentum. Note that family-oriented does not mean free of loud sounds or low-light moments, so plan accordingly. If you want the season to feel like more than a to-do list, give it an afternoon at the Murat. Reserve your seats for Twas The Night Before in Indianapolis and make the holiday story yours.
