There’s a pre-show “turn-off-your-phone-and-no-pictures” song that he does indeed sing. That’s the only part where you hear his voice, however (as least as far as I could tell).
Someone pointed me to this :

Movie Studio anyone ?
That’s why it sounded so familiar !I’ve been listening to this so much. He covers so many styles. I wish he did one of these every year!
It is indeed one of his best work to date. 2011 was very light in terms of Elfman scores but this one is surely worth two or three scores all together !

Cirque are giving a “unique and exclusive” performance at the Oscars and Elfman will write the music.
I’m 1000% convinced that whatever they do will be either a reworking of an existing piece for the show or a flat out reuse from the show.
Seems like it was a short suite. The big choral moment from the middle of “Movie Studio” was definitely in there. I was just blown away by seeing my childhood icon Kermit the Frog say “Danny Elfman”.
Watch the Oscars perf — with Kermit’s intro!

Wow, I saw the show two weeks ago! What a fantastic experience, probably the best live performance I’ve ever seen. Elfman’s music has always been on/off for me on the album, but it was magnificent in context, esp. the busy music for the whole studio lot thingie (which I don’t like alone, but which teems with energy alongside the acrobatics).
If you live in the area and haven’t seen it yet, I recommend to do so as soon as you can. It can’t be going on much longer?
