Broadway Stars Are Hosting A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS Virtual Benefit Concert

Oct 9

This is (virtual) Halloween, this is (virtual) Halloween… Spooky season may look a little different this year with social distancing guidelines still in place, but not even a global pandemic can stop us from getting in the Halloween spirit. If you’re looking for ways to celebrate this month, some of Broadway’s brightest stars are getting together for a one-night-only virtual benefit performance of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.

The “terrifyingly tantalizing” event will begin at 7 p.m. ET on Halloween night, October 31st, and it’ll be available to stream on Vimeo for 24 hours, with all proceeds going toward the Actors Fund and the Lymphoma Research Foundation.

According to a press release, James Monroe Ingelhart (who earned a Tony Award for his performance as the Genie in the original Broadway production of Aladdin) will take on the role of presenter. Fellow Broadway stars including Rafael Casal (Blindspotting), Adrienne Warren (Tina: The Tina Turner Musical), Danny Burstein (Moulin Rouge!), and Rob McClure (Beetlejuice) will be interpreting the film’s songs “using only items and clothing found around their house combined with their imaginations.” Tomfoolery, we would imagine, will abound.

Tickets cost just $4.99—probably a lot less than what you’ve spent on bags of for trick-or-treaters for Halloweens past. Grab your tickets to The Nightmare Before Christmas virtual concert here and get ready to sing along!
