'Twas the Night Before...

0 upcoming performances in New York

At The Theater at MSG, ’Twas the Night Before… reframes the familiar holiday poem often traced to Clement Clarke Moore’s 1823 verse, a text that has helped standardize America’s modern image of Santa. This stage version filters the story through Cirque du Soleil’s physical vocabulary, using acrobatics and theatrical tableaus in place of straightforward narration. New York City has long served as a public home for this tradition, where seasonal storytelling becomes civic ritual. The result reads less like plot-driven drama and more like a curated sequence of images.
