Each day, the Bbox team trolls YouTube for the hot clip—sometimes it's a brand-new moment and sometimes it's a throwback to an oldie but goodie. No matter what praise hands are shot up, pearls are clutched and the repeat button is hit.

Ultimate 🙌 🙌 moment: How amazing to see James take on this Danny Elfman track from the film's soundtrack. The song was originated by another Broadway vet, Ken Page of Cats and Ain't Misbehavin'. James delivers a super charming version of Oogie Boogie's number. Our ultimate moment is when he calls out to the audience to help out with some background vocals at 0:57. Oh! Then there's 1:37 where he really gets to show off his fantastic voice! Awesome performance, James - we can't wait to see you and your pals this Halloween!
