A live music and burlesque tribute to The Nightmare Before Christmas by Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys.
Boys and girls of every age, wouldn’t you like to see something strange? Walter’s the one hiding under your bed, teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red, army of toys hiding under yours stairs, fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair. In this town, don’t we love it now? Everybody’s waiting for the next surprise!
