Billie Eilish joins the Nightmare Before Christmas ‘live-to-film’ concert

Billie Eilish is set to voice a character in two performances of The Nightmare Before Christmas, taking place in Los Angeles this Halloween.

Billed as “live-to-film” concert experiences, the shows will feature Tim Burton’s 1993 Disney animation played on-screen to a live orchestral soundtrack. Eilish will take on the role of Sally, performing the spooky track “Sally’s Song”.

Alongside the Happier Than Ever singer, the two-date series of shows will see original cast member and composer Danny Elfman return as Jack Skellington, alongside “Weird Al” Yankovich and another original cast member, Ken Page.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to have Billie joining up with the nightmare crew!” Elfman says in a statement. “This will be a real treat (not a trick)!”

The Nightmare Before Christmas live concert shows have previously taken place at the Hollywood Bowl, but this year will be staged at LA’s Banc Of California Stadium. The shows will take place on October 29 and 31.
