It also will be the first time in nearly 18 years that the former Oingo Boingo frontman will sing live, with Elfman re-creating various songs from The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack.

"The idea of performing some of Jack Skellington's songs from The Nightmare Before Christmas live for the very first time is immensely exciting," Elfman tells The Telegraph.

The performance will be enhanced by original artwork from the films creating a visual backdrop, amounting to an evening that will be "something really special," Burton says.
