A live concert blending puppetry and modern music to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Jim Henson's Labyrinth, with doors at 7pm and show at 8pm.
Jim Henson's Labyrinth: In Concert comes to the Encore at Uptown Theater on Saturday, October 10, as a 40th anniversary celebration of the 1986 film. It's not a screening in the usual sense—the evening is staged as a live concert that blends puppetry with modern music to bring the film's stories to life. They're billing it as a musical adventure, and the program reaches beyond the movie itself, with the show intended to transport the audience back to the worlds of The Dark Crystal and La Miniatura as well.
If you've spent any time with the original movie, you know how much of the atmosphere comes from the music and the creatures. This production puts both front and center: the puppetry happens live on stage, and the music is played by a live ensemble rather than run from a track. It's a concert that keeps the film's characters in the room with you, rather than just on a screen.
