Orlando fantasy fans can watch Jareth the Goblin King command his crystal-filled kingdom all over again next Tuesday, as Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: In Concert rolls into The Plaza Live at 8 p.m. on Nov. 10. The 1986 film will screen in full while a live band performs the musical numbers in sync with David Bowie’s original vocals, according to the seed facts behind this report, with tickets running $53 to $70 for the show at 425 N. Bumby Ave.
The tour marks the 40th anniversary of Labyrinth, which paired Bowie’s Jareth with Jennifer Connelly as Sarah, a teen babysitter thrust into his maze-like realm, per the original reporting from Orlando Weekly. The production remains billed as a joint creative effort between Bowie and Jim Henson, whose puppetry work powered the film’s goblin hordes and fantastical creatures. On stage, the live band performs the songs and score composed by Bowie and Trevor Jones, according to labyrinthinconcert.com, the tour’s official site.
A Cult Classic Gets Its Victory Lap
Labyrinth wasn’t exactly a smash when it first hit theaters on June 27, 1986, but the film has since built a devoted following that outlasted its shaky box-office debut. Bloody Disgusting notes that the film has enjoyed a vibrant second life as a cult favorite in the decades since, a reputation that has only grown as goblins, Bowie’s glam-rock swagger, and Henson’s creature work found new generations of fans.
That staying power is part of what’s fueling this anniversary run. The tour is produced by Black Ink Presents, a division of Sony Music, as reported by gottagoorlando.com.
Tour Size Still Up for Debate
Exactly how big this trek is depends on who’s counting. gottagoorlando.com describes it as a 58-city U.S. tour kicking off September 14 in Buffalo, New York, while Bloody Disgusting characterizes it as a 60-city North American tour launching this fall. Either way, the special 40th anniversary tour began in September 2026, according to the official Labyrinth in Concert site.
Orlando’s stop at The Plaza Live was confirmed by gottagoorlando.com, which reported that the tour will stop in Orlando on November 10, returning to the stage at the venue. For fans who missed out on earlier tour dates elsewhere in the country, next Tuesday’s show offers a local chance to see Bowie’s performance paired live with the film that made Jareth an enduring icon of 1980s fantasy cinema.
