Even Father Christmas makes an appearance during this Christmas show for the whole family. Make sure you buy your tickets in good time as this show sells out very quickly.
‘Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil
‘Twas the Night Before is the first Christmas show from the world-famous Cirque du Soleil. The storyline revolves around one little girl experiencing the well known Christmas poem come to life. The acrobats, clowns and other talented artists of the magical circus will be performing their show in the Hulu Theatre at Madison Square Garden.
The Nutcracker
In November and December, alongside the musicals and plays, you can also enjoy Christmas cheer at the ballet! Each year the renowned New York City Ballet perform The Nutcracker. Little Clara, the fighting gingerbread soldiers, hungry mice and, of course, the life-sized nutcracker are sure to enchant your whole family.

The Metropolitan Opera’s family-friendly production of this Christmas opera is shorter and performed in English. So everyone can enjoy this classic filled with magical melodies, dreamlike characters and mythical creatures.
