Bridgers was joined by original cast member Danny Elfman, who reprised his role as Jack Skellington over the two nights in London's OVO Arena.

A concert adaptation of Tim Burton’s A Nightmare Before Christmas took place at the OVO Arena in Wembley on Friday night, 9th December which saw Phoebe Bridgers cast in the role of Sally.

The role, which was originally played by Catherine O’Hara, saw the singer-songwriter give a stunning performance, singing renditions of ‘Sally’s Song’ and ‘Kidnap The Sandy Claws,’ accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra.

Danny Elfman, the film’s original composer, reprised his role as Jack Skellington for the night’s performance.

With Friday night's performance proving a huge hit, the cast and orchestra went on to perform for a second night on Saturday. Vouched for by fans, Bridgers’ performance seems to have lived up to last year’s casting of Billie Eilish who played the role of Sally then.

The Grammy nominated musician, who is reportedly engaged to Normal People’s Paul Mescal, recently released her rendition of The Handsome Family’s ‘So Much Wine,’ donating proceeds to the Los Angeles LGBT Centre.
