Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas Light Trail, inspired by the 1993 Disney film The Nightmare Before Christmas, will make its debut September 27 at the New York Botanical Gardens.
The outdoor adventure, featuring over 8,300 square feet of light installations with interactive video projection, LED lighting, and 3D printing sculptures of the film's characters, will continue through November 30.
"Join Jack Skellington, Sally, and Zero on a walk of wonders," press notes state, "as your favorite characters, scenes, and songs from the immortal film come to life amongst the leaves of New York's most treasured garden."
The Nightmare Before Christmas Light Rail is created by Adventurelive, the producing team behind Broadway’s Hamilton, and LETSGO, the Madrid-based creative team behind Tim Burton’s Labyrinth and Lights in Nature, and presented by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical.
“I
want to make an experience that surprises people—that is both
visually stunning and sonically cool. This is going to be a thrilling
new way to experience both Tim Burton’s story and one of the greatest
gardens on Earth,” said Adventurelive Founder Jeffrey Seller in a statement.
“After creating Tim Burton´s Labyrinth and Lights in Nature in several cities, we are excited to arrive in New York with a magical and unforgettable journey. Visitors will be able to take the best photos they have never imagined and have an experience that they will remember for years,” added Iñaki Fernández, LETSGO founder.
Operating hours will be from dusk to 10 PM every Thursday through Sunday beginning September
27 through November 30.
