Wallingford, did you hear the news?

The show that has been delighting children and adults alike since 2019 is finally making its way to the Toyota Oakdale Theatre, bringing the wonder of the season right to your doorstep!

Based on the classic poem by Clement Clarke Moore, “A Visit from Saint Nicholas”, the story follows Isabella, a teenage girl who has been jaded by the surrounding Christmas hoopla. As her father recites the poem he reads to her every Christmas Eve, the magic of the poetry comes to life. A snowstorm unexpectedly separates them and sends them on a fantastical journey. Isabella is taken to an upside-down, inside-out world where she meets colorful characters from the timeless classic and rediscovers the magic of Christmas.

‘Twas The Night Before, as conceived and directed by Cirque Du Soleil artistic director James Hadley, is a meticulously crafted masterpiece as to be expected from Cirque Du Soleil, where breath-taking artistry, mesmerizing acrobatic performances, and jaw-dropping theatrics come together in a way you won’t find anywhere else. As Cirque Du Soleil’s very first Christmas-themed show, it has created quite the buzz nationwide and has been received with rave reviews. The cast of ‘Twas The Night Before comprises 16 men and 10 women, representing no less than 14 different countries.

The fantastic 4,800-seat Toyota Oakdale Theatre, known for its famous dome, is about to be transformed into a Cirque-wonderland! Seating is spread across two floors: the main orchestral floor, offering the closest view, and the balcony area, an elevated seating area. The theatre is a fairly intimate venue, so all seats are good seats!
