Live band performs the Labyrinth soundtrack in sync with the original film on a large HD screen, marking the movie's 40th anniversary.
Jim Henson's Labyrinth: In Concert comes to the Orpheum Theatre on Thursday, October 29, 2026, at 8 PM. It's part of the 40th anniversary tour for Labyrinth, the musical fantasy Jim Henson directed and released on June 27, 1986, starring Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie.
The setup is straightforward: the movie plays in full on a large HD screen while a live band performs the entire soundtrack in sync with Bowie's original vocals. That means you'll hear everything from "Magic Dance" to the full score by Bowie and Trevor Jones, with the live music following the action on screen. The tour is marking the film's 40th year, and the Phoenix stop is part of a fall 2026 North American run that's visiting more than 60 cities, following a global tour of nearly 100. Audiences are encouraged to dress in costume and cheer along as Jareth the Goblin King, Sarah, and the Creature Shop characters appear on screen.

On stage, the band is led by music director Rose Van Dyne on keyboard, with Sharon Ahn, Dan Meinhardt, Andrew Shield, Skyler Volpe, and Jessie Linden. Together they play through the Bowie and Trevor Jones soundtrack, keeping pace with the movie as it runs. The Orpheum Theatre, built in 1929 as a vaudeville house and later a movie palace, is one of downtown Phoenix's most elegant venues, with a soaring proscenium, red velvet seating, and a cloud-filled blue sky painted on the ceiling. Tickets range from $50 to $128, and the show starts at 8 PM on Thursday, October 29.
