Jim Henson's ‘Labyrinth' is to tour the UK in concert for the first time, it has been announced.
The film, which stars David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly, will tour the UK fusing film and live music for audiences. The tour comes after phenomenal demand for a previously announced London performance at Royal Festival Hall.
A performance has been added at London’s Eventim Apollo on 13th April, prior to the November tour which will begin at Southend Cliffs Pavilion on 22nd November, followed by performances in Liverpool, Birmingham, Bath, Sheffield, and Edinburgh, before finishing up at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall on the 30th November.
‘Labyrinth’s loyal and steadfast cult following has grown for nearly 40 years since the film’s theatrical release on 27th June 1986. Audiences are invited to experience an epic evening as the movie is presented on a large HD cinema screen. On stage, 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 its extensive history of breathing new life into iconic films with symphonies, orchestras, or bands live on stage, 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 Vice President 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!’”
