Jim Henson’s musical fantasy film Labyrinth, starring David Bowie, will transport fans to Goblin City with Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: In Concert. The 30-city North American tour will begin in West Virginia on 9/24, which would have been Henson’s 88th birthday. (The Muppet master died in 1990 at age 53.)
The original 1986 film will be presented on a large HD cinema screen as a live band performs in sync with Bowie’s original vocals, playing the songs and score from the soundtrack composed by Bowie and Trevor Jones.
Produced by SME division Black Ink Presents, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: In Concert will join a long list of the company's live stage productions, which includes Batman, Ghostbusters and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
“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,” Black Ink Presents CEO John Kinsner noted. "Getting to hear Bowie’s vocals with a live band while watching the film is sure to give every Labyrinth fan goosebumps.”
Starring Bowie and Jennifer Connelly alongside a gaggle of goblins and creatures from Henson’s Creature Shop, the film features Bowie's original songs “Magic Dance,” “Underground” and “As the World Falls Down."
