Nightmare Before Christmas Live 

He has Tim Burton legs.

He moves like a Tim Burton character. Amazing acting

90% be like “dammmmm his legs” 10% be like “what a good actor”

Where is the guy that says, "Nice work, Bone Daddy".

Oh my god, the movements! Is he really just that thin and flexible? People are talking about the singing, but it's the physical acting that's so incredible.

those legs and proportions alone are great. the fact he can move like that and still sing that well is amazing!

Wow he really captures the physicality of Jack Skellington, although his legs aren't quite long enough for him to move like a spider...I was impressed. Plus great singing voice :)

Slender man has some long legs Jack: hold my beer

This man is, like, 90% leg. He's _perfect._

This is absolutely incredible! How is this not a Broadway musical yet? This actor's physicality, look, and singing are so spot-on for Jack!

Why isn't Nightmare before Xmas a live stage Musical?!!! THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!!

It annoys me so much that Jack hasn’t got his bat bow tie 😭

This is gonna sound weird but... DAMN HIS LEGS...I LOVE THEM

Did not remove head for Shakespeare reference 0/10

How I imagine myself when I do Jack's monologue in my living room at 4 in the morning:

I actually love his costume so much, they way they decided to give him white hair instead of him being bald and/or a giant orb lookin helmet to try and emulate the original cartoon. really shows the costumer knew what they were doing. They didn’t just try to recreate the cartoon, they took elements of it and made it really come to life!

... i would literally pay money to see a live action musical of "the nightmare before christmas!"

His Legs are unnaturally long O_O He really suits Jack !

11 years later and I’m still waiting for this to be a full theatrical musical

This video finds me every Christmas 😂 LOVE IT!

I really love the guy doing this scene playing jack, he gives me a replica of the actual jack. This is the only video I can find of this person, so idk if it was a full show, or just a skit this person made. He is a perfect jack !!!

Damn, what a great actor! :o

10/10 would pay for the full length show.

*slenderman with abnormally long limbs* Jack: Hold my head

I really like the part "No animal, no man, can SCREAAAM LIKE I CAN!" That was so cool. He suddenly reminds me of Joker O.o

Everyone in the comments seems to believe that this guy was cast as Jack. The man playing Jack here is the guy who runs this channel. He is playing Jack because he wants to.

2:17 was a great addition🙌 overall, an amazing performance🔥

Everyone is talking about the performance and I'm over here applauding costume and makeup. Sally's is sickly good.

THIS NEEDS TO BE A BROADWAY SHOW!!!!! I would fly to new York from cornwall just to see this show xxx

the guy playing Jack is litterally amazing.

I'm getting a very potter musical Voldemort vibes here

Woah wow. What a amanzing Performance. Love it. His legs are looking so damn long...can't handle it 😱

Why is this not a full musical yet?

Despite all of the negative commentary, as someone who has grown up with this as my favorite film, from when I first saw it as a child, to someone who is now 23 years old, I found this wonderful. His body moved like Jack, he portrayed the character well, and he was a very talented singer. I loved it so much.

The movements and proportions are so realistic, yet Tim Burton like at the same time. I love this!

1:55 😲 that scene actually looks like him singing to the moon, shining down on him on a cold dark night

I love it! The had a hard work finding singer who can act and has really long legs :-) he plays that "spiderly" Jack perfectly

I would die to see this! it would be my complete dream.

2018 and I'm waiting for this...this guy is brilliant. I would pay any amount of money to see him perform.

This actor is incredible. I actually want to see him in a live version instead of the animated one

omg, this is so amazing, his body, his attitude, makeup, everything is perfect!

2:35 best part 😂👌

They made BeetleJuice the Musical, now they need to do this!!!!!

As a theater nerd and a NBC superfan, I don't think you understand how much i love this. They better make a broadway show right now or I'll do it myself

A lot of people in the comments seem to expect him to be made of sculpting material and be an incarnate of Jack himself. I haven't seen a lot of Jack Skelington imitators who can also sing and act, so this is both unique and quite fascinating. You gotta admit, this guy is certainly thin enough to be Jack and he has a great voice. I love the outfit! If the channel owner is the one who played Jack, then bravo! You did an excellent job!

This is one of the best performances of an established character I've ever seen! This actor was born for this role, too!

Discovered this years ago and still come back, time to time, to watch because it is a masterpiece!

I still come back to this! A classic!

He's missing the bat bow tie

Out of all the Disney movies to put on Broadway; I find this one the most fitting for that treatment and they can be really creative with it too. I wish they'd do it all ready. I would soooooo go and see that.

This is the opposite of what I would have expected from a live action jack, but I'm more convinced by his physicality than his vocal performance.

Love this to become a Broadway show. Actor can sing, and you can feel the emotion in his voice. He did great giving us Jack!

His guy has Jacks characterization down. I really want it to be a full live production.

I didn't go through all the comments because this is years old but did anyone else get the vibe that The Joker was doing a Jack Skellington Cosplay skit?

Whoa , whoa , whoa where's Zero? He's always in this song.

who else was waiting for him to remove his head when he said, “and since i am dead, i can take off my head”

I feel like this man had a lot of fun doing this. He just looks so comfortable being this character

This is absolutely beautiful! I never expected such a good performance of this song from anyone but Danny Elfman.

no joke this is really well done! the makeup and costumes are just a brilliant real life version of what’s in the movie. and the actor! i don’t think you can find a better person to play jack! his physicality in the role for the character so well!

My entire life depends on this movie. I can’t live without it. I’ve always wanted it to be a musical. This is amazing and should be on Broadway

this guy is a fantastic actor and looked/acted/sounded exactly like Jack Skellington; this whole video was a prime example of quality theatrics. thanks for the upload.

this is really neat, no he doesn't sound like the movie's Jack, but who cares if he's still awesome in his own way with the song. The costume is nice, hair did bug me but not enough to mind. I really want to see more of the Sally because the details to her face look awesome.

Where did they find a guy that tall, that skinny, and can sing and act that well? It must be like finding a unicorn in the wild.

Holy shit. Great makeup, great costume, great -movement-, great interpretation with the singing. I can't really imagine a way this could be improved upon the capture the feel and tone of the original, and I'm saying that as a fan. Also, wow, I've never seen a live action person move as if stop-motion. So spindly!

I would go out of my way to see this Jack do a full live rendition of The Nightmare Before Christmas! He's got the limb movements down to a tee!

great footwork. he was really successful with nailing Jack's characteristics

I comeback every year to watch this multiple times in October

Nice work, bone daddy!

I love his movement. he perfectly captures the stop-motion look and feel.

am I the only one OBSESSED with the nightmare before Christmas??? 💀👻

That “there are few who deny at what I do I am the BEST” he went full Christopher Walken.

As he screamed “I, JACK! THE PUMPKIN KING!” I swear I felt the chills

THIS GUY DESERVES AN AWARD!!! HE’S SUCH AN AMAZING ACTOR!! 👏🏼❤️

I love everything: the costume, the mouvements, the voice! Brilliant

Where has THIS video been hiding??? My God it's brilliant!

This was just recommended to me, glad that it did, mad that it wasn’t sooner.

I love the performance but I feel more anger than I do sadness. I think it would've been more powerful if we could see that but still amazing!

He looks like the damn Joker!

I'm genuinely in love with his legs

The actor is great

I _adore_ his portrayal of Jack! They got the perfect actor. He has the perfect voice look and legs. 💕

He obviously wasn't committed, he didn't take off his head to quote Shakespearean quotations. I am just joking, this was BEAUTIFUL and I don't see why everyone is complaining, he moves like jack, he sings beautifully and it was just wonderful. This was a different take on the song, but it was still amazing. You can complain all you want but I don't see you guys making something better than this.

I have to admit that I wasn't happy to see there was a live version on RU-vid but after watching this I am blown away by the performances. jack's physical movements are perfect!

I knew I recognized that amazing physicality from a certain character in Barbarian from somewhere. Really stellar work both in that movie and here! Always love coming back to watch this video every Halloween season.

I'm 50/50 on this. I don't really like the singing. I can't honestly say it's bad or anything, I just liked the movie version better. Deeper voiced and more mournful. But this guy can't really help the difference in tones, and I'd noticed with stage plays they like to add some drama and flair to the music. I can't fault them on that, but I still didn't really like the song. The dancing though, that was impressive! I mean Jack's all long-limbed and as an animated character those features are even more exaggerated, but this actor was able to give the impression several times of both the distinctively long limbs and the various ranges of motion Jack often goes into. It was fascinating to watch, and tons of kudos to the actor for not only pulling it off but making it look so effortless to boot!

he has jack legs. I am impressed by his jack legs

Is it just me who loves the whole thing and appreciates all of it the props Jack Sally, etc.

I would absolutely love to see a live show

Where, oh WHERE, can I watch the whole thing??

Considering how hard it is to portray Jack I'd say this guy did pretty well. Not as well as someone could do it but I didn't think I was terrible. Hell, I'd say I even liked it.

Just watching this video makes me think that this movie should SERIOUSLY be made into a broadway musical!

This is phenomenal! I love that you can see the influence from the movie version of Jack in his movements and interpretation of the song, but the performance is still so original. Congrats to the costume and make up departments as well as the set designer. Everything looks great! This show is awesome ☠❤

Great job, I love the fluidity in his movements and performance. He's no Danny Elfman but I love his interpretation for sure. (:

Really REALLY enjoyed this! He moves and sounds just like Jack! Whyvis this not a Broadway show yet? WHYYYYY

この動画大好きで何回も観に来ちゃう。 ジャックのように手脚も長くて、歌声も素敵😍

Make the lip make up red, the hair green and give him a purple suit and he'd make a decent looking Joker too.

What's Voldemort doing playing Jack Skellington?

Now I want a nightmare before Christmas stage adaptation to exist

LIKE, WHAT? HOW'S HIS INTERPRETATION SO FREAKING PERFECT?!

“And I’ll scare you right out of your pants” proceeds to actually trigger my fight or flight
