One thing I feel like I have to point out is that yes that is Greg Proops as Santa Claus in this, but he was not the original voice of Santa in the movie, that was Edward Ivory, Greg just plays him in the concert. However Greg did play minor characters in the movie such as the Sax Player and Devil.
You mean 30 years later and YOU don't sing the songs when you hear them?! I DO! ;) Hell, turn on What's This around me, you can't control me until it's over, I lose all sensibility and dance around singing.
@@maryobrien6014 if you look back at Tim Burton's history with actors in the past it makes sense. Obviously Danny Elfman does almost all the music for his movies, Catherine O'Hara was the mother in Beetlejuice, and Paul Reubens (Pee Wee) worked with Tim Burton seeing that his very first directorial movie debut was Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. Also bonus fact: actress who plays Dottie in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure cameoed in Batman Returns as Penguin's mother and Paul Reubens plays his father
I won't lie, I didn't know Paul Reubens was in the movie until about 4-5 years ago. I actually saw him at a con while waiting in line for another actor. At the front Paul was greeting and talking with a cosplayer and getting a photo. He looked so happy and still youthful for his age. While I never watched his series or movie really, I know he brought so much joy to others. It was sad when I found out he died. Because I swore when I saw him you wouldn't have guessed he was hiding cancer.
Danny Elfman is a genius. So much character in his voice. The boyish wonder in his voice along with the deep darkness that lives inside us all shines through in so many parts of this song. Truly a wonderful talent.
near 30 years what the heck. time flies. bummed i didn't see it till rental coz i did imagine it would have been awesome up on the big screen... well if there was no annoying kids around
Yeah I caught this with the family a few years back in Brooklyn when they were touring. Amazing show. Oogie boogie song was the show stopper. Wish they would do it again. Before their voices are shot.
See how during "Kidnap" Danny Elfman is motioning to the orchestra to speed up? Yeah. That's because they played a couple numbers under the tempo he wrote. You can see he's ahead of them on "What's This" and he's trying to vocally inform them as to the correct tempo.
I'm not crying, you're crying... Also this gave me tons of amazing goosebumps! Such beautiful memories, thank you to all these incredibly talented people for making us dream!
Grew up with this movie and only learned today that Danny Elfman voiced Jack, and wowwwwwwwwwwwww what an incredibly talented man. This whole video had me smiling and choking up.
I 100% agree with you. I didn't know he voiced Jack either, until tonight.bTo say that he's incredibly talented is a major, major understatement. I'm truly blown away by these actors and their talents. I absolutely loved this!!
I remember when this movie first came out. I still have it on VHS. I absolutely love EVERYTHING about this movie. The music is amazing. Jack Skellington is my fav.
Jaack litterally looks like me when I wake up at 3 am on Christmas Eve , trying to remember wtf I was waiting for. And Danny Elfman, his voice is unique and somehow soothing.
@@jameshaviland6183 Jack is Danny Elfman, Oogie is Ken Page, Sally is Catherine O’Hara, Lock/Shock/Barrel are Paul Reubens (Peewee Herman), Catherine and Danny
The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Princess Bride are two favorite movies of all time, and when I found out Humperdinck voiced Jack’s speaking voice I felt betrayed that the villain was the hero 😂 Thinking back it made sense because he sounds the same, but I thought it was crazy and I’m jealous you got to meet him :)
I'm soo glad this became one of the biggest movies, Soo deserved, You can tell how much love went into this, Ever va just has the biggest blast, Huge smiles even soo many years later
This is such an amazing performance by everyone, including the orchestra. I love seeing them sing side by side with the movie clips. Thank you to whomever made this!
This makes me soooooo happy!!!! I mean look at how passionate Danny was singing WHAT'S THIS! You can really tell he loved what he was composing. How fun!
It brings me so much joy to see just how much Ken Page LIVES for Oogie's Song. He may play the villain in the movie, but he's a total teddy bear singing on stage ♥
they all did so beautifully, I literally teared up c': Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorite Halloween/Christmas movies. its my tradition every year to watch it in November, inbetween Halloween and Christmas.
Good lord this is a show I want to see. Sally's ballad is an unbelievably emotionally charged journey, I love her. I love this film so much, I used their final act together as the closing part of my wedding speech. My dearest friend... Even had that tattooed on my arm as well.
7:57 my favorite part. rip ken page😢🕊️❤️. Just found out this morning why? Because I didn't hear anything on the news. But still. I almost cried. fly high🕊️
The LS&B bit was beautiful! The fact that they had to be in sync with each other really helped with the timing. The best solo act, in my opinion, was Sally.
This takes me back to watching this movie no less than 1 million times with my children when it was first released. I am 54 and simply love it. Love the memories of being a mom to my now grown kids.
I love this video!! Okg im a big fan Tims and this movie, i cry every time sally sings because I know its Catherine o'Hara. I just love her, i mean i adore the whole cast. Shh, she is my fave.
I often sing some of those songs for my Facebook friends and my family. Usually around Halloween/Christmas, I sing a song from Nightmare before Christmas. I sang Jack’s Lament(Friends fav), Oogie Boogie’s song(My mom’s favorite, What this?!(My brother’s favorite), Poor Jack, and finally on Christmas Day I gave my friends and family a Christmas gift by singing We’re simply meant to be. Everyone had commented of how much they love my performances. I love Nightmare before Christmas and it was an amazing experience performing those songs
I don’t understand why we need to have some kind of competition between creators like Burton and Selick. They both deserve a ton of credit for making the film, and it wouldn’t have existed in the way we know today without either of them. Hell, Danny Elfman also gave so much to the film in terms of music and voice talent, not to mention every animator, story artist and dozens of other credits that we aren’t even aware of. TLDR: Movies are made by the contributions of many talented people, and it’s ridiculous to bring one creator down just to put another on a pedestal. Fan culture doesn’t have to be so one-sided about everything.
When they mentioned boogey man in John Wick this was the first thing that came to mind😂... I loved his song as a kid until I came to know what he was😫😭
I never realized this, but I noticed at the end of the 2018 The Grinch movie (From Illumination) I saw that the music was made by Danny Elfman! I' like "Seriously? This can't be right?!"
Omg this is just amazing as I have loved Nightmare before Christmas forever so seeing it live concert version it makes me wanna just dress up and start singing along
only now discovering this. This absolutely wonderful gift you've created, especially for me and those my age... (mid 30's AHHH) really givin' me the feelz with this one. Thank you. thank you. thank you. a million times thank you.
I know Paul Reubens passed away recently, it was nice to know everyone was having fun coming together to re-sing these iconic songs. The energy is over 💯🎤
Okay this is gonna make me sound so dumb haha but I had no clue O’Hara voiced Sally. I always assumed it was Shelly Duvall and I was so convinced I never bothered to check. Lol so learning this just now was a bit of a shock. But also not surprising since O’Hara is such a gem.

That's fair :)
And the Harlequin!
That's Greg Proops?? Cool!
Thanks for the cool trivia! Please check out my cover of the song! 🎃
He nailed it.
Ken Page is a legend. That voice made Oogie Boogie iconic
According to google the man is 6’8 and a half feet tall.
That’s a lot of oogie
@@ResoundGuy epic response
@Shoto Todoroki crazy isn't it
And he's having so much fun doing it
I've seen Danny Elfman sing this live at the Dolby Theater on Halloween once at the end he brought out Tim Burton and the audience went crazy
That’s awesome.
Ok
bro that's the most insane thing i've ever heard !!!! id go insane
@@miaquinn4800 It was surreal and the fact that he went through all of his movies scores was amazing 😍
is there a video?
Almost 30 years now. They still want to sing. Amazing
Don’t get the relevance of the length of time it’s been and singing but all right.
1993-2023 Almost a happy 30th anniversary to The Nightmare Before Christmas.
You mean 30 years later and YOU don't sing the songs when you hear them?! I DO! ;) Hell, turn on What's This around me, you can't control me until it's over, I lose all sensibility and dance around singing.
Voices can change over time and end up different from the original recording…
Now, 30 years.
Oogie boogies song was so fun to watch him do! He’s so animated
Broadway star 🌟 nothing quite like them
Menacing, comedic and hammy all at the same time. Just like Oogie Boogie. Perfect.
I had no idea Catherine voiced Sally!!! I knew she did Shock but wow! She's so amazing
me neither.
She also does the little witch in the trio as well..I think her names Shock
I knew she did Sally but not Shock. That's awesome! This woman has done just about everything.
Danny Elfman is Barrel and Pee Wee Herman is Lock?!?! My mind is blown!!!

30 years later and Catherine O'Hara still gives me goosebumps with her singing. She's fantastic!!
Omg lol I would have NEVER guessed 🎉🎉🎉
I agree 100%

Happy Halloween ! Please check out my cover of the song! 🎃
Almost 30 years later, and still an awesome movie.
I remember when this was in theaters.
Me too, I went and saw it. Hooked from the get go. Beetle Juice made me a Tim Burton fan but Nightmare Before Christmas sealed it.
near 30 years what the heck. time flies. bummed i didn't see it till rental coz i did imagine it would have been awesome up on the big screen... well if there was no annoying kids around
I would pay millions to see it in theaters. BUT NO I JUST H A D TO MISS IT
Oh wow! Was that a time! I remember leaving the theater as a kid and watching the moon for any sign of Oogie Boogie xD
This is one of my traditional holiday movies along with Sleepy Hollow.
Not only danny elfman is a great composer, he’s also a great singer!
I had no clue he did the singing voice for Jack 😅
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oingo_Boingo
He had a band called Oingo Bingo for years!
When I saw the film I thought his performance was better than anything he did with Boingo. And that's saying a lot!
Brilliant lyrics, too.
@@kristinecollier9155 woah that's awesome! I never knew that
I love this so much everyone is so passionate and Oogie always steals the show!!!

Its been 2 years since this came out. Ken page died on September 30th.He was such a iconic person. RIP.
😢 oh no. I loved him..
I love how animated Danny Elfman is when he performs! What a talent!
I don’t care what anyone says, Danny’s work on this film is one of THE BEST vocal performances of all time!!!!!
This is so exciting, funny and beautiful. They are true artists. Even watching them is entertaining!
2:27.......RIP Ken Page!! The voice of Oogie Boogie!! All of us who can sing Oogie Boogie must sing that song this Halloween!!!
Its so amazing to hear the actors sing live
When I saw this year's ago, Oogie Boogie scared me to death... But live... He's just a big lovable jazz singer. This is a game changer for me...
Honestly Ken Page stole the show, what talent and engagement
He opened his mouth and I got choked up. He sounds like childhood memories ❤️
it's been 12 years, and I'm still amazed that Old Deuteronomy and Oogie Boogie are the same voice. Ken Page is truly fantastic.
I was so happy when I found that out
And king gator!!
@@fatheroftherealm Yes! I was watching All Dogs several months ago and I loved that he was in that
Me too! Amazing acting and singing!
Depends on the version of Cats. Brian Blessed also played Old Deuteronomy on the West End
I was 9 when this came out in theaters. 38 now and this makes my inner child scream with joy and cry because I miss those days so much.
Literally cried watching this, so many memories and passion behind this. I hope to see them perform next year!
I'm not crying, you're crying... Also this gave me tons of amazing goosebumps! Such beautiful memories, thank you to all these incredibly talented people for making us dream!
Grew up with this movie and only learned today that Danny Elfman voiced Jack, and wowwwwwwwwwwwww what an incredibly talented man. This whole video had me smiling and choking up.
Danny only did the singing portions, Chris Sarandon (Prince Humperdink) did the speaking voice ❤ sooooo good!!!
I 100% agree with you. I didn't know he voiced Jack either, until tonight.bTo say that he's incredibly talented is a major, major understatement. I'm truly blown away by these actors and their talents. I absolutely loved this!!

You will be remembered as a legend.
I didn’t know it was so recent 😔
NOOOO
6:44.......The original Lock, Shock and Barrel singing "Kidnap The Sandy Claws" live is WONDERFUL!!! That's such a delightfully wicked little song!!!
Danny Elfman looks like a mix of Teller and Elton John...
Haha
OMG, he does!
I can see it now! LOL
I met Mr. Elfman in Hawaii. He’s so humble and kind. Great person.
I love Danny Elfman, his writing is so amazing and I love how unique his voice is.
Rip Paul Reubens he was such a great actor and singer

The legendary actors in this
I’m honestly shocked by the number of people who didn’t know these were the voice actors lol
Just came back from comparing the two scenes of "What's this?" I like how Jack sounds with Elfman's older voice.

Didn't know Paul Reubens used his voice in this. Loved it!😊❤
Ken definitely has fun with oogie boogie
*had*
Paul Reubens knew he was seriously ill by the time of this performance, but kept it all secret. A trouper to the end.😪
i love how all the actors match their characters looks, and put work in their voice it’s so cool
Watching this put a big smile on my face. Everyone is having so much fun, it’s contagious.
I first saw this movie in a theater during its original '93 release. It's been one of my all-time favorites since that night!
Same here🎃🎃🎃
I remembered went to the theater and it was only few audiences. So grateful I saw it before it became a classic
Danny Elfman created some of the most iconic TV and movie themes but Weird Science will always have a special place for me.
This is so cool to see the voices come from the people! ✨
The LS&B bit was beautiful! The fact that they had to be in sync with each other really helped with the timing. The best solo act, in my opinion, was Sally.
