Cirque Du Soleil: ‘Twas The Night Before at Toyota Oakdale Theatre

“’Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house,
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.”

…and he is on his way indeed, together with the colorful characters of Cirque du Soleil that will keep you on the edge of your seat with their unmatched strength, power, and jaw-dropping abilities, really getting you into the holiday spirit!

Conceived and directed by Cirque Du Soleil Senior Artistic Director James Hadley, a 25-year veteran of circus productions and live theatre, “’Twas The Night Before” promises to captivate and delight adults and children alike with its unparalleled glitz and glamour, mind-blowing athleticism, speed, thrilling acrobatics, dizzying twists and turns, daring stunts, and precise choreography, paired with a soundtrack including beloved holiday classics perfectly reinvented by Cirque Du Soleil, living up to the buzz it has created nationwide. The cast comprises 16 men and 10 women representing at least 14 different countries.

The high-performance production is based on the classic poem “A Visit from Saint Nicholas” by Clement Clarke Moore and follows the story of Isabella, a teenage girl who became jaded by the surrounding Christmas craze. As her father recites the same poem he has been reading to her every Christmas Eve, the magic of the poetry comes alive. A snowstorm unexpectedly separates them and sends them both on a fantastic, magical journey. Isabella is transported to an upside-down, inside-out world where she meets the colorful characters of the timeless classic.

The Toyota Oakdale Theatre, popular for its dome, is a large venue that can host up to 4,800 patrons. Many large-scale productions and world-renowned artists, such as Jethro Tull, Dua Lipa, Chicago, John Fogerty, and Elvis Costello, have graced the stage before, making it the perfect venue for the five-star quality you have come to expect of Cirque du Soleil. Seating is spread over the main orchestral floor and balcony, each with perfect sightlines and to patrons’ satisfaction. Regardless of its size, the Toyota Oakdale Theatre offers an intimate theatrical experience.
