    We were looking for something new to celebrate the holidays. This was a really fun show, with some amazing acts! More than one gasp out of me from startling and thrilling arial moves.

    Cirque du Soleil was truly fantastic, as always. Just go. Even if you've seen them before, go. It's so worth it. Thank you for the magic!

  • Two thumbs up from everyone in the family!!

    by DPACFan on 12/18/24DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamRating: 5 out of 5

    Cirque Du Soleil always puts on a great show and the production of Twas the Night Before Christmas was no exception. I took the family and every one of us (ages 8 to 65) thought it was a spectacular show!! The cast was very interactive with the audience and the acts themselves were sooooooooo exciting and creative. DPAC is a gem of an event center and I encourage everyone to go see a show there. Staff is always friendly and helpful. It was an excellent experience all the way around. Thank you!!!

    Great venue for this fabulous display of action, choreography sound and wonder.

  • Highly recommend especially for families

    by Global Linked Incorporated on 12/18/24Meridian Hall - TorontoRating: 4 out of 5

    We found it to be a great venue seats and sight line were really good. The show was spectacular and very entertaining as well as Christmas Story. Would like to have ushers going up and down the aisles and refraining people from using their cell phones to record. The lady in front of us would not stop texting and recording the show.

  • A must see/experience

    by Entertaining acts and music on 12/18/24Meridian Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    The Christmas music was upbeat, the storyline was good, all acrobatic acts were really entertaining and I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Popcorn was not available 😟

    Entire experience was fabulous. Story line, scenery, artistry and talented athletic and artistic performances. 90 minutes went by in a flash. Cirque du Soleil is the best!

    We were amazed at the energy that the cast displayed. It was a non stop performance with such variety and artistic display. We look forward to your summer performance under the tent.

  • Xmas show

    by Marcus on 12/18/24DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamRating: 5 out of 5

    It was excellent as usual. You could tell the performers went out of their way to make it an outstanding performance.

  • Best Xmas show!

    by Pam on 12/18/24DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamRating: 5 out of 5

    Cirque du Soleil is probably one of the best shows anyone can see. Have seen a couple of their shows in Vegas and they are just amazing. This Xmas show was not only beautiful set wise but the entertainers/actors were just the best. Music was great and the length of the show was perfect. Hopefully this will be added to their list of touring shows and become a yearly show.

    Family friendly show. Highly recommend. Loved every second of it!

  • One ofthe best shows ever

    by Bensonmum on 12/18/24DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamRating: 5 out of 5

    We have been attending 10 -15 DPAC shows a year since DPAC opened and Twas the Night ... is absolutely one of the best shows we have seen there. It is fast-paced and high-energy with wonderful music and absolutely amazing gymnastics routines.

  • Smaller show but definitely worth it.

    by Rick on 12/18/24Meridian Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Beautiful show and story. Sure it wasn't the size of a show under the big top but I didn't feel it was too small. Would recommend for the whole family.

  • Christmas show

    by Chad on 12/18/24DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamRating: 5 out of 5

    Very good show. One of the best I have seen. All the performers were all on point. Even when they made a mistake it was like it was planned.

  • Enthralling for children perhaps

    by Disappointed customer on 12/18/24DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamRating: 1 out of 5

    Unfortunately, I had high hopes to see a tremendous display of Cirque du Soleil talents. They had been on the bucket list for years, having seen many online videos of various shows. This one however, had very limited acrobatics and was filled with overly loud music, truly fantastic decorations, and a lot of Simplified dancing or jumping around (think clowns). I hope to perhaps give Cirque du Soleil one more chance by seeing them in one of their host cities where I’m told on their own stage, the acrobatics are the main portion of the show. Fingers crossed.

  • Audio playback painfully loud

    by StS on 12/18/24DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamRating: 2 out of 5

    Show was ok, more dancing than artistics compared to other of their shows that I’ve seen in the past, and also no live music at all. I had expected band and singing, but all music was playback here. It would have been a nice experience (for which we paid good money) but the audio was just over the top too loud. Painfully and completely unnecessary (and I’ve been to real concerts before). No intermission, so we sat through it and endured it. Never again at DPAC.

  • Epic!

    by Chuck on 12/17/24DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamRating: 5 out of 5

    It was the ideal way to start off the Christmas season. Awe dropping performance.
