Whether you think of The Nightmare Before Christmas as a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie, seeing the movie on a big screen is always a good time. It’s even better when you can see this fan-favorite film at the legendary Hollywood Bowl as the movie is played on the screens of the Bowl and brought to life with fantastic performers.
This year’s Tim Burton‘s The Nightmare Before Christmas in Concert will feature Danny Elfman singing as Jack, Janelle Monae singing as Sally, Keith David singing as Oogie Boogie, Riki Lindhome singing as Shock, and John Stamos singing as Lock with incredible eye-popping projections that bring Halloween Town to life. The holiday classic celebrates 10 years since its first show at the iconic venue! Conductor John Mauceri, founding Director of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, will once again be leading the full orchestra and choir performing the film’s full score as the special guests perform the film’s acclaimed songs live, plus an unforgettable virtuosic interlude with violinist Sandy Cameron. Get to the Bowl early to enjoy the Hollywood Bowl/Halloween Town transformation with special pre-show activities including a costume contest (Tim Burton-inspired costumes are encouraged!), unique photo opportunities, and trick-or-treating stations.
Performance of The Nightmare Before Christmas in Concert will take place Saturday, October 25 at 8pm and Sunday, October 26 at 7pm. Tickets for both shows will go on sale Friday, September 5 at 10am Pacific Time.
