Halsey will take on the role of Sally in a stage adaptation of ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ this month. This live production, celebrating the film’s 30th anniversary, will run for three nights at the Hollywood Bowl from 27th to 29th October. Halsey will take on the role of Sally on the first two nights, while the movie’s original voice actor, Catherine O’Hara, will take over on the third night.

In addition to her upcoming role in ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ live adaptation, Halsey has been teasing her fifth album on social media. In a cryptic post in September, Halsey hinted at the intense creative process, captioning, “Not pictured: me splitting myself in two every day so that I can give you my deepest wounds (and a handful of perfect joys) for the 5th time in 10 years.” This may implicate an album about deep and personal themes.
Halsey’s previous album, ‘If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power,’ released in 2021, earned widespread acclaim, with critics describing it as a “defiant artistic statement of their singular talent,” acknowledging its intensity and compelling nature. Halsey’s ability to embody different genres and create complex music makes her a good choice for this live-action.
