Jim Henson’s ‘Labyrinth: In Concert’ to Launch This Fall 

For the first time ever, the musical fantasy film Labyrinth, Jim Henson’s original masterpiece starring the late David Bowie, will transport fans to Goblin City in an exciting fusion of film and live music onstage with “Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: In Concert.” The 30-city North American tour launches Sept. 24 — Henson’s birthday — with stops in Atlanta, Orlando and New Orleans.

Labyrinth’s loyal and steadfast cult following has grown for nearly 40 years since the film’s theatrical release on June 27, 1986. Audiences are invited to experience an epic evening as the movie is presented on a large HD cinema screen. Onstage, a live band will perform in sync with Bowie’s original vocals, playing the songs and the score from the soundtrack, composed by Bowie and Trevor Jones.

“Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: In Concert” producer Black Ink Presents, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, is known for breathing new life into iconic films with symphonies, orchestras or bands live onstage, including Batman, Ghostbusters, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Rocketman, La La Land and more.

“I have always been a huge fan of the groundbreaking collaboration of Jim Henson, George Lucas, David Bowie, and Trevor Jones on this film, and bringing it to fans in a live concert screening experience is a dream come true,” says John Kinsner, CEO of Black Ink Presents. “Getting to hear Bowie’s vocals with a live band while watching the film is sure to give every Labyrinth fan goosebumps.”

“It’s always incredible when the amazing fans of Jim Henson’s Labyrinth come together to watch (and rewatch!) this beloved fantasy adventure,” says Nicole Goldman, executive v.p. of Branding for The Jim Henson Company. “With ‘Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: In Concert,’ we are welcoming loyal and new fans to the world of the Goblin King, and celebrating the incredible music of David Bowie and Trevor Jones in a whole new way. It is certain to be a ‘Magic Dance!’”

Starring Bowie and Jennifer Connelly, as well as scores of goblins and creatures from the renowned Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, the film features a soundtrack of unique and memorable melodies, with Bowie’s original songs like “Magic Dance,” “Underground” and “As the World Falls Down,” along with Jones’ orchestral score.
