Everything was absolutely amazing from the musicians to the conductor and of course Danny Elfman himself! They even showed scenes and concept art for the movies and they played the music. This was really an unforgettable concert, I would definitly go again if I had the chance!
Everything about the show was incredible. Danny Elfman's music, the orchestra, the songs the original sketches from the movies.
So awesome in so many ways, what a once in a lifetime opportunity.
absolutely amazing to see & hear my favorites scores live. danny elfman is an absolute madman on stage!
The art work of Tim Burton was spectacular to see. Experiencing the performance of Danny Elfman was unforgettable. Elfman seemed as though he was completely enjoying himself and was sincerely grateful to the tremendously talented orchestra and, especially, the conductor.
I’ve been a big fan of Tim Burton’s films and Danny Elfman’s music for over a decade. I have personally counted Elfman as one of my most favorite in the world and often joked that if I were rich when I got married, I would have hired an orchestra and choir to play “The Grand Finale” from Edward Scissorhands as I walked down the aisle. I had high expectations coming into this concert and they were more than met. I experienced a range of emotions during the journey of the evening – and spent the evening with chills, tears and giggles. I came out of this with an even deeper respect for the artistic imagination and stylistic genius of Elfman and Burton’s powerful duo. I intend to go anytime this concert is in my town and recommend it to others. It is an absolute MUST see for any Burton/Elfman fan.
What an incredible night! The evening was perfect, with music from all of the movies we know and love. When Danny came out and saying it was incredible. I really miss his voice live. The orchestra I was spot on and perfect. It was an awesome event!
This is a definite must see even if you're not familiar with the films of Tim Burton or the music of Danny Elfman. Everyone who performed that night were very talented.
From start to finish. Conductor - Amazing, Orchestra - Awesome, Choir - Super Talented, and to see Danny live on stage, having a blast. Once in a lifetime experience. His violist - So incredible!
Absolutely loved this show! Awesome.....Danny Elfman's music, orchestra and singing were amazing!
If you want to see the scores from the Tim Burton movies, this is a great show. If you want to see Danny Elfman on stage from beginning to end, this is not the show. He was on stage for the Nightmare portion and that was it. The choir and orchestra are all great and loaded with talent, I just wanted to see more Elfman.
It was such a thrill for my 8 year old daughter to meet the voice of her favorite singing character " Jack Skellington " as Danny Elfman performed the songs from "Nightmare before Christmas"! I myself have followed Danny and Tim in this 29 year journey of fabulous music and cinema and it was a pleasure to see and hear the music being played live!
If you are a fan of Danny Elfman's music this is a must see show. The Hollywood Symphony did a fantastic job. My six year son loved ever minute of the show and so did I. Seeing Danny Elfman bring the songs from Nightmare Before Christmas to life was amazing. He is a one of a kind composer and with the visuals from Tim Burton's movies on the screen made for an amazing experience.
I saw this show last year and just had to go again this year. Danny Elfman and Tim Burton have done some amazing work and this show highlights it with Danny Elfman's music paired with scenes from Tim Burton's films on a giant screen behind the orchestra. The highlight for me was when Danny Elfman came out and sang songs from The Nightmare Before Christmas. It was pure joy for me and I got chills many times as I watched and listened to him sing. I would highly recommend this show to everyone... you won't be disappointed!
The show was awesome! Danny Elfman is so talented! I loved the Nightmare Before Christmas songs. The little boy who sang for Alice in Wonderland was absolutely amazing!!
at times I forgot that I was listening to a symphony. Sounded so good, and clear. Choir was outstanding and the song selection was perfect. Only wish it had ended with either Nightmare or Beetlejuice, for my own reasons.
I really loved this show. I took my 16 year old daughter, and she loved it too. We love Tim Burton's movies. Seeing this show makes me want to go back and watch them all again. The orchestra was fantastic, and it was really cool to find out that most of the artists played on the music from the actual movies. Watching Danny sing songs from the Nightmare Before Christmas was great - took me back to high school, and the Oingo Boingo concerts. : )
What an experience. Highly recommend for Tim Burton/Danny Elfman fans!
Yes. I am a Danny Elfman uber nerd. Yes. I am a Tim Burton Uber nerd. So knowing that my review will be slightly biased. However, the sheer talent, effort and love that clearly went into making this production a reality did not go unnoticed nor unappreciated. This was not some hodge podge "lets throw this together because we can make a little bit of money" show, no it was not. Danny and Tim fans are a breed of our own as many will tell you and expect something a little different than your average concert. This brings me back to my initial point. The production team and I'm sure Danny know their audience and delivered with flying colors. Everything from the volume of the music (not too loud but certainly loud enough), to the ambiance of the venue (did not feel like I was watching from a stadium [apart from the seat]), to the crowd (frighteningly adorable, un-waveringly loyal, and by far the most unique gathering of people you will ever meet), to the lines at the bar (i got a beer in less than 2 minutes. LESS THAN 2 MINUTES!! In conclusion. if you were not either a Danny Elfman or at the very least Tim Burton fan you most likely did not enjoy the show. Then again. It wasn't for you in the first place.
A great evening overall. The orchestra was wonderful to listen to and its always fun to see Tim Burton's sketches & then see how it was translated to the movie. This duo has done so many movies together & each time a new one came up on the big screen you say 'oh yeah, I loved this one too. The best part of course is when Danny Elfman comes on stage & does a few numbers from Nightmare. He is amazing still and rocks the house.
