Billie Eilish is getting set for her role as Sally at a special live Nightmare Before Christmas event in Los Angeles, joining the beloved film's composer Danny Elfman, “Weird Al” Yankovic, and a full orchestra performing in-sync with the Tim Burton 1993 classic.
The film's composer made the announcement on his social media on October 1, sharing his pleasure in welcoming Eilish to the production, which has been very successful in other cities years prior.
Eilish as Sally will perform on stage as the movie plays behind her, alongside Danny Elfman’s Jack Skellington later this month on October 29, as well as a matinee show on October 31 at Los Angeles’ Banc of California Stadium.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to have Billie joining up with the nightmare crew!” Elfman said in a statement. “This will be a real treat (not a trick)!”
“Weird Al” Yankovic is set to play Lock, of one of the three halloweenie cohorts making up Lock, Stock, and Barrel while actor Ken Page will once again perform in the role of the film's bad guy, Oogie Boogie, which he sang for in the original flick.
