Nightmare Before Christmas

In Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas in Concert, The Florida Orchestra plays Danny Elfman's songs and score for the 1993 stop-motion film live, with Lucas Richman conducting. The film grew out of Tim Burton's original poem and characters. It runs in full on a big screen while the musicians play in sync below, in a production licensed by Disney Concerts. The plot is a familiar one: Jack Skellington, Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, discovers Christmas and decides to take it home with him, and the plan goes badly wrong. From This Is Halloween on, Elfman's numbers do much of the storytelling.
