GOBLIN CITY: Jim Henson’s film “Labyrinth” starring David Bowie is the subject of “Labyrinth in Concert” at the State Theatre New Jersey on May 2 at 7:30 p.m.

State Theatre New Jersey presents Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: In Concert on Friday, May 2 at 7:30 p.m. For the first time, Jim Henson’s original masterpiece and musical fantasy film Labyrinth, starring David Bowie, will transport fans to Goblin City in a blend of film and live music on stage.

The event will start with a costume contest on stage. 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.

Tickets range from $29-$125.

Labyrinth’s cult following has grown for nearly 40 years since the film’s theatrical release on June 27, 1986.

“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,” said John Kinsner, CEO of the concert’s producer 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.”

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