Twas The Night Before -- A Cirque du Soleil Holiday Experience

Twas The Night Before is Cirque du Soleils first holiday-themed production, and it is coming to Providence for a limited run at the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC). The show runs from November 24 through December 6, 2026, with multiple performances across that window. PPAC is one of the premier performing arts venues in New England, located in the heart of downtown Providence at 220 Weybosset Street.

The production tells the story of a young girl who has lost her holiday spirit and rediscovers the magic of the season through a series of spectacular encounters. Based on the beloved poem A Visit from Saint Nicolas by Clement Clarke Moore, the show blends Cirque du Soleils signature acrobatic artistry with a festive holiday atmosphere. A cast of 26 international artists performs jaw-dropping aerial straps routines, daring hoop diving, gravity-defying hair suspension acts, and high-energy dance numbers.

The soundtrack features beloved Christmas classics reimagined with the Cirque du Soleil touch -- expect familiar melodies presented in ways you have never heard before. The combination of world-class circus arts, a touching narrative, and holiday music makes this a unique alternative to traditional holiday entertainment like The Nutcracker or A Christmas Carol. It is a show that works for families with young children, couples looking for a special date night, and anyone who wants to add a little wonder to their holiday season.

Providence itself is a wonderful holiday destination. The citys WaterFire installations, Federal Hill dining scene, and walkable downtown make it easy to turn a Cirque du Soleil outing into a full evening or weekend trip.
