Want to see "Labyrinth" the way fans saw it in 1986, but louder and bigger? Here is the good news. "Jim Henson's Labyrinth: In Concert" is adding more than 35 new cities. The tour now runs all the way through spring 2025, with many new stops landing in April.
This is a smart shopping story as much as a movie story. Tickets for cult classics like this tend to sell out fast. Several fall shows already sold out before the new dates were even announced. If you want a seat, knowing the schedule and booking early matters.
Below, we walk through what the show is, why it keeps selling out, and how to plan your night out without overpaying or missing your city's date.
What Is "Jim Henson's Labyrinth: In Concert"?
The show pairs the full 1986 film with a live band. The band plays every song and score cue in sync with the movie on a big HD screen. David Bowie's original vocals stay in the mix. So you get his real voice, backed by a live band playing along in real time.
The film stars Bowie and Jennifer Connelly. It also features goblins and creatures built by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. That is the same puppet workshop behind the Muppets and other Henson projects. The soundtrack was written by Bowie and composer Trevor Jones. Songs like "Magic Dance," "Underground," and "As the World Falls Down" are fan favorites. Jones added an orchestral score around them. Together, the music captures the film's mix of whimsy and danger.
Producer Black Ink Presents runs the tour. It is part of Terrapin Station Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment. The company has done this kind of live-to-film show before. Past projects include "Batman," "Ghostbusters," "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "Rocketman," and "La La Land." That track record is part of why fans trust this format.
John Kinsner, CEO of Black Ink Presents, says he is a longtime fan of this creative team. "As a huge fan of the groundbreaking collaboration between Jim Henson, George Lucas, David Bowie, and Trevor Jones, launching this tour has been a dream come true," Kinsner says. He adds that fans dress in costume, dance in the aisles, and shout their favorite lines during the show.
Why the Tour Extended Into April and Beyond
The first leg of the tour started September 24 in Morgantown, West Virginia. It hit more than 30 cities this fall. Several of those shows sold out. That demand is why the tour is growing.
The new leg kicks off March 16, 2025, in Santa Barbara. From there it moves through California, the Pacific Northwest, the Rockies, the Midwest, the South, and the East Coast. Big stops include Los Angeles, San Diego, Portland, Salt Lake City, Chicago, and New York City.
April is the busiest month on the new schedule. Nineteen of the new dates fall in April alone, from Boise on April 1 to Nashville on April 25. If you live near any mid-size or major U.S. city, there is a good chance an April show lands near you.
Brian Henson, Chairman of the Board of The Jim Henson Company, points to the film's staying power. "The legacy of my father's film and the world of Labyrinth continue to be discovered and embraced by new generations of fans," Henson says. "Finding new ways to celebrate Labyrinth has been part of the fun, and we thank all of the amazing fans for continuing to support this magical film."

Smart Shopping Tips for Fans Who Want a Seat
This is where smart shopping really counts. Live-to-film concerts like this one often sell out weeks ahead of the show date. Here is how to plan your purchase.
- Check your city's on-sale date early, since some venues open sales weeks apart from others.
- Buy directly through the official site or the venue box office to avoid inflated resale prices.
- Watch for VIP packages if you want early entry or extra merchandise, since these often sell out before general seats.
- Sign up for email alerts if a date near you, like Peoria's, is marked as on sale later.
- Book travel and hotel early if you are crossing state lines for a show, since concert weekends can raise local hotel prices.
Our analysis of the schedule shows April carries the heaviest concentration of tour stops, with 19 confirmed dates. That makes April the single best month to catch the show if you have flexible travel plans. Fans on tighter budgets should compare nearby cities before committing, since smaller markets like Grand Junction or Sioux City may have lower ticket prices than major metro venues.

The Bottom Line
"Jim Henson's Labyrinth: In Concert" is growing because fans keep showing up. The tour now covers more than 65 cities across two legs. April holds the most new dates, with 19 stops from coast to coast. If you loved the film growing up, or you are discovering it now, this tour is a rare chance to hear Bowie's voice live alongside a real band. Book early, buy from official sources, and check your city's on-sale date soon.
