Los Angeles, CA (February 11, 2026) - This year marks the 40^th anniversary of Jim Henson's fantasy musical masterpiece Labyrinth, starring David Bowie in the legendary role of Jareth the Goblin King and a young Jennifer Connelly as Sarah, the teenage girl who must face him to rescue her baby brother. An 80's cult classic that is beloved around the world, Jim Henson's Labyrinth remains uniquely relevant today, sitting at the intersection of iconic music, fashion, fantasy, and nostalgia.
