The concert will also include featured violin soloist, Sandy Cameron.

First released in 1993, the flick was directed by Henry Selick and based on a story and characters by 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.

Tickets go on sale next Thursday at 9am and will be available from Ticketmaster.

It will return to Bord Gais Energy Theatre for a four-week run from December 10, 2019 to January 5, 2020 as part of a UK and international tour.
