This Is Halloween at The Triple Door

Seattle International Cabaret Festival proudly presents THIS IS HALLOWEEN! Can Can’s seasonal Halloween show is an extravaganza of live orchestral music, cabaret, burlesque and video projected sets inspired by Tim Burton's "Nightmare Before Christmas." Can Can’s finest dancers transform into spooky characters favorites such as Jack Skellington, Oogie Boogie, Lock, Shock, Barrel and many more. THIS IS HALLOWEEN centers around Jack Skellington—the pumpkin king and most-acclaimed citizen of Halloween Town. The night after celebrating with fellow characters to toast their continued success in terrifying people around the world, Jack takes a long walk through the forest with his ghost dog, Zero. Burned out on Halloween, Jack no longer sees the point of scaring people. Along the way, he discovers doorways to other holidays, including one with a bright green decorated tree. Jack opens the door and falls down a hole leading into Christmas Town, a world that will change Halloween Town—and Seattle—forever. Can Can brings their explosive genre-defying dance, choreographed by Fae Phalen (Heavenly Spies), scenic designs by TJ Davis (Bassnectar, Decibel Festival, City Arts), and illustrations by Olivia Knapp, to The Triple Door for this year’s Halloween Spooktacular.
