Labyrinth turns 40 this year, and if you’ve ever wanted to see Bowie’s Goblin King on the big screen with a live orchestra, this is your chance. The film’s blend of practical effects, surreal set pieces and that unmistakable Henson weirdness still feels fresh, especially when you’re surrounded by fellow fans who know every line. The live score isn’t just a novelty—it’s a reminder of how much the music shapes the film’s off-kilter mood, from the synth-heavy ballads to the playful, puppet-driven numbers. This isn’t a nostalgia trip for its own sake; it’s a rare opportunity to experience a cult favorite in a way that actually adds something new. If you’ve only watched Labyrinth at home, you’ll be surprised by how much more immersive and strange it feels with a full orchestra in the room.
