    This our first time seeing a Cirque du Soleil performance. We had no idea what to expect but we were very pleasantly surprised. It was a great show to kickoff the Christmas season! We would highly recommend it to "kids from one to 92". :)

  • Excellent show that I highly recommend

    I’ve seen other Cirque shows before and even watched the reality show about Cirque when it was on. This show does not disappoint. It’s paced just right with just the right bits of levity between the heavy acts. And those heavy acts do not disappoint. From the beginning all the way to the very end, there wasn’t a one that my wife and I didn’t gasp or wonder how it was possible. It’s great for all ages, from the young to the young at heart. Well done Cirque. Bravo.

  • A wonderful evening with my daughter, dinner and the show!

    It was a wonderful show. Treated my daughter for Christmas, enjoyed a nice dinner beforehand, followed by this beautiful experience.

  • Amazing

    Other than amazing there are no other words to describe this event.

  • Great show for kids!

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

    DPAC is a wonderful venue...great view from all seats! We took our 4 year old grandson and 7 year old Granddaughter to see the show. Our Granddaughter was completely engaged throughout! She said it was "the best day ever"! Definitely geared more to children, but we old folks enjoyed it too!

  • PHENOMENAL from start to finish!

    by K8 on 12/17/24DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamRating: 5 out of 5

    SOOOO SOOOO GOOD! We saw "O"Cirque du Soleil in Vegas and thought this was even BETTER! There was never a dull moment. The stage, the lighting, the effects, the dancing, the tricks, the music, the costumes - all incredible!! I could watch it over and over again. Please come back next year! We would love to make this a family tradition.

  • Fun for everyone

  • Really fun show

    by SuMo37 on 12/16/24DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamRating: 5 out of 5

    we had a great time at this show. The grace and elegance of the performers was amazing. There were so many fun scenes and each had an interesting different act. Truly enjoyed the show

  • Enjoyable Seasonal Show

    by Denny in Durham on 12/16/24DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamRating: 4 out of 5

    Full disclosure... we've been to multiple Cirque Du Soleil (and similar) shows in purpose-built venues, in multiple cities. This lacks the WOW! of those, in production and scale. 'Twas the Night Before... is still great entertainment, within the constraints of a road show. There was a plot woven around the various acts, and the performers performed with the expected "how did they do that?"precision Cirque Du Soleil is famous for. Old and young seemed to be fascinated, so I would say the production is a success, and DPAC did an excellent job hosting it.

  • Too much fluff, less acrobatics

    by IL on 12/16/24Meridian Hall - TorontoRating: 3 out of 5

    A nice show for the whole family. In comparison to the tent shows, this one had more “fluff”. So it’s a pretty expensive show as there was a lot less acrobatics. Giving 3 stars for great costumes and performance.

  • Wasn’t very impressive

    by Beth on 12/16/24DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamRating: 1 out of 5

    Very little acrobatics, and it wasn’t very entertaining compared to other Cirque du Soleil I’ve seen.

  • Music was great, venue was great, performers terrific

    by Wonderful, full energy show on 12/16/24DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamRating: 5 out of 5

    The DPAC never disappoints. The show was outstanding all around.

  • Not what I expected

    by JK on 12/16/24DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamRating: 2 out of 5

    I’ve been to about 15 cirque du soleil shows across the eastern seaboard. I have to say this was my least favorite. Mediocre to below average at best

  • Awesome

    by DO' on 12/16/24DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamRating: 5 out of 5

    Cant wait for the next time i can see this again.... fabulous!

  • Decent performance

    by Rater on 12/16/24Meridian Hall - TorontoRating: 3 out of 5

    A good show to see. Not a great show like others I have seen in the past. A bit over priced for what you get but still somewhat entertaining.

  • Surprising

    by Kat on 12/16/24Meridian Hall - TorontoRating: 4 out of 5

    We very much enjoyed the show. Such talent. Beautiful costumes. Time passed quickly. We sat in orchestra row c. It would be wise to explain to ticket holders that the persons needing sign language are seated in front of these rows and lights are on. The sign language performers stood and I found myself watching them. I’m pleased they were there but it was a distraction and I would have selected different seats had I been aware. .

  • CIRQUE SOLEIL
