Columbus Symphony Opens 2019-20 Pops With THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Experience Tim Burton's timeless holiday classic all over again as the Columbus Symphony performs Danny Elfman's classic score live to picture. The Nightmare Before Christmas follows the earnest-but-misguided adventures of Jack Skellington, Halloween Town's beloved Pumpkin King, as he attempts to kidnap Santa Claus and take over the Christmas holiday. Rated PG.
