well as Disney's The Little Mermaid in Concert starring Sara Bareilles and

Conductor John Mauceri, founding Director of the Hollywood
Bowl Orchestra, will once again be leading the full orchestra and choir
performing the film’s classic score and cherished songs live to picture along
with the all-star cast and special guest artists performing the film's
acclaimed songs live.
Through the magic of projection mapping, the award-winning
creative studio Mousetrappe will return to create breathtaking living scenery
projected onto the façade of the iconic Hollywood Bowl, making the event a
constantly evolving extension of the film and music. This will be Mousetrappe’s second live to
picture event at the Hollywood Bowl following Disney’s Beauty and the Beast in
Concert earlier this year, which marked the first time that 90 minutes of
original content had been created for video projection mapping on the surface
of the iconic Los Angeles amphitheater.
Concert producers Richard Kraft and Laura Engel explain,
"We’re so thrilled to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the film with an
extraordinary concert experience mixing film, live music, singers, and fully
immersive digital projections that can only be experienced live.'"
2015’s Nightmare at the Bowl was named "#1 Concert of
2015" by the Orange County Register beating out such shows as The Foo
Fighters, Janet Jackson, Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, Willie Nelson, Neil Young
and The Rolling Stones.
Halloween at the Bowl – Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before
Christmas” – In Concert to Film will transform this legendary venue into
Halloween Town with special pre-show activities including an audience
participation costume contest, unique photo opportunities and trick-or-treating
stations. Tim Burton-inspired costumes are encouraged.
First released in 1993, Tim Burton's “The Nightmare Before
Christmas” was directed by Henry Selick (“James and the Giant Peach”) and based
on a story and characters by Tim Burton. The film follows the
earnest-but-misguided adventures of Jack Skellington, Halloween Town's beloved Pumpkin
King, as he attempts to take over the Christmas holiday. Against the advice of
Sally, a lonely rag doll who has feelings for him, Jack enlists three
mischievous trick-or-treaters - Lock, Shock, and Barrel - to help him kidnap
Santa Claus. The film is rated "PG."
