Jack is back. No, not that Jack from “The Shining,” but Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King and most-acclaimed citizen of Halloween Town. And you can follow his misadventures of in “This is Halloween,” Can Can’s original, dark, fantasy-musical adaptation of Tim Burton’s 1993 classic, “The Nightmare Before Christmas” running October 20-31st at the Triple Door,
“This is Halloween” centers around Jack, the night after celebrating with fellow scream-makers to toast their continued success in terrifying people around the world. But, Jack is weary of his usual terrifying antics and no longer sees the point in scaring people.
Burned out on All Hallows’ Eve, Jack takes a walk through the forest with Zero, his ghost dog. Along the way, he discovers doorways to other holidays, including one with a bright green decorated tree. Jack opens the door and falls down a hole into Christmas Town, a world that will change Halloween Town—and Seattle—forever.
When Jack stumbles upon Christmas Town, full of beautifully decorated trees and a warm spirit, the plot thickens. Behold, live orchestral music and vocal performance, cabaret, burlesque, all new scenic design, and video projections inspired by the original Tim Burton classic.
