Halsey is taking on a new role. The Grammy-nominated singer has signed on to star as Sally in a live production of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.

The three-night concert event — celebrating the movie’s 30th anniversary — will be held at the Hollywood Bowl from Oct. 27-29.

Halsey will portray Sally for the first two nights of the production, starting on Oct. 27. Katherine O’ Hara, who voiced the character in the original film, will reprise the role on Oct. 29, Variety reported Monday (Oct. 9).

Tickets to the concert are available at Ticketmaster, Vivid Seats, Stub Hub, HollywoodBowl.com and other ticketing sites. Pricing ranges from approximately $75-$85 for the cheapest seats.

Tickets for the terrace and garden area range from approximately $350-$600, but you might be able to find tickets for around $200 (at Vivid Seats). Some of the tickets for the pool circle, located closest to the stage, are priced above $600.

Danny Elfman also returns to The Nightmare Before Christmas live concert as Jack Skellington. Elfman composed the music for the 1993 stop-motion film, which centers around Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town. The Nightmare Before Christmas concert will feature a live orchestra led by conductor John Mauceri. 

Special guests include Saturday Night Live alum Fred Armison as Lock and Ken Page as Oogie Boogie. More special guests are expected to be announced at a later date.

The Nightmare Before Christmas live concert has welcomed other recording stars in the past. Billie Eilish graced the stage as Sally in 2021.
