Nightmare Before Curemas: A Haunting Holiday Concert by Lovesong The Cure Tribute
Lovesong The Cure Tribute, Florida’s premier tribute to The Cure, and Switch Entertainment present Nightmare Before Curemas, a thrilling two-act concert inspired by Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. This immersive spectacle blends the eerie charm of Halloween with the festive joy of Christmas, reimagining the holidays through a goth and alternative lens.
Fronted by Rusty Wilmot, whose uncanny Robert Smith vocals and stage presence captivate, Lovesong delivers Cure hits like “A Forest,” “Just Like Heaven,” and “Friday I’m in Love,” alongside tracks from Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, and a goth-style “Last Christmas.” Act 1: Halloween Town sets a dark, mysterious mood with songs like Echo & The Bunnymen’s “Killing Moon,” while Act 2: Christmas Town sparkles with nostalgic warmth. Enhanced by Brittani Manock’s Tim Burton-inspired makeup, skeleton costumes, and captivating visuals, the show invites fans to dress as Beetlejuice or Corpse Bride characters.
