Billie Eilish to Perform as Sally in Nightmare Before Christmas Live-to-Film Concert: Details

Billie Eilish is bringing her love of cartoons to a live stage this Halloween. The "Happier Than Ever" singer is set to join producer and singer-songwriter Danny Elfman for Disney's live-to-film concert experience of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas for two nights at LA's Banc of California Stadium on Oct. 29 and Oct. 31.

Eilish will perform "Sally's Song" at the event, which will contain a full orchestra led by acclaimed conductor John Mauceri to perform the film’s score and songs live. The singer will be accompanied by Elfman, who will be reprising his role of Jack Skellington, King of the Pumpkin Patch, for both nights of the concert. Other guests include “Weird Al” Yankovic  and Ken Page singing the roles of Lock and Oogie Boogie, respectively. “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)!”

The 19-year-old has yet to comment on performing as Sally for the live show, but she is a longtime fan of Burton's. The two posed together for a photo at the Universal Music Group's Grammys afterparty in January 2020, and the director also appeared in Eilish's video with Vogue in which famous fans asked her questions about her life or her music.

Tickets for the event are currently on sale via Ticketmaster and range from $39.50 to $179.50. Attendees are encouraged to dress up -- and follow COVID-19 safety guidelines -- as trick-o-treating and a fan-voted costume contest will take place at the venue.
