The NAC Orchestra presents Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas in Concert, featuring the holiday classic on the big screen in full symphonic glory with Grammy–winning composer Danny Elfman’s musical score performed live to the film.
Bored with the same old scare-and-scream routine, Pumpkin King Jack Skellington longs to spread the joy of Christmas. But his merry mission puts Santa in jeopardy and creates a nightmare for good little boys and girls everywhere.
First released in 1993, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas was directed by Henry Selick (James and the Giant Peach) and based on a story and characters by Tim Burton.
