Celebrating four decades since its 1986 filmic debut, Labyrinth returns to the spotlight with Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: In Concert, an immersive live experience set to enchant Australian audiences.
Blending cinema and performance, the event pairs a screening of the beloved cult classic with a live band performing the film’s iconic soundtrack in sync, creating a rich, multi-sensory journey into its fantastical world.
Directed by Jim Henson and starring David Bowie as the enigmatic Jareth the Goblin King, Labyrinth has long held a special place in pop culture for its inventive puppetry, whimsical storytelling, and unforgettable music. Songs like Magic Dance and As The World Falls Down take on new life in this concert format, performed live as the story unfolds on screen.
Audiences are invited to relive Sarah’s spellbinding journey through the labyrinth, encountering its curious creatures and surreal landscapes in a fresh and dynamic way. Both longtime fans and newcomers can expect a night of nostalgia, artistry, and theatrical magic — an experience that celebrates the enduring legacy of a film that continues to inspire imagination across generations.
Watch the cult classic on a stunning HD screen while a live band performs the full soundtrack in perfect sync with David Bowie’s legendary vocals. Heck, ardent fans are enouraged to even dress the part: be it as one of the main characters, Goblin King Jareth, Sarah, or any of the fantastical creatures from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.
Pre-sale tickets are available here.
