"Labyrinth" Live with Pennsylvania Philharmonic - Harrisburg

Harrisburg, PA - January 16th, 2026 - Prepare to be transported to a world of goblins, fairies, and enchanting musical scores! The Pennsylvania Philharmonic is thrilled to announce a special, immersive performance of Jim Henson's beloved cult classic, "Labyrinth," on February 20th, 2026, at the Select Medical Center stage in Harrisburg. Tickets are on sale now, and organizers are anticipating a high demand.
For those who grew up with the film, or for those discovering its brilliance for the first time, this is an unparalleled opportunity to experience the magic of "Labyrinth" in a whole new way. The Pennsylvania Philharmonic will perform the iconic soundtrack live, perfectly synchronizing with the on-screen visuals, creating a truly breathtaking and emotionally resonant experience.
Why 'Labyrinth' Remains a Timeless Classic
Released in 1986, "Labyrinth" has cultivated a dedicated and passionate following over the decades. Starring a young Jennifer Connelly as Sarah, a teenager struggling with her stepmother and dreaming of a more exciting life, and the legendary David Bowie as the enigmatic and captivating Goblin King, Jareth, the film blends fantasy, adventure, and coming-of-age themes. Sarah's impulsive wish for her stepmother to disappear unleashes a chain of events that thrusts her into the Goblin King's elaborate and dangerous labyrinth. To return home, she must complete a series of challenging trials and outwit the Goblin King himself.
The film's unique blend of practical effects, puppetry, elaborate sets, and a compelling narrative has secured its place as a cornerstone of fantasy cinema. Bowie's performance as the Goblin King is particularly noteworthy, contributing significantly to the film's allure and earning him a devoted fanbase. The visual creativity of Jim Henson's Creature Shop, responsible for the unforgettable puppets and creatures that populate the labyrinth, remains groundbreaking even by today's standards.
The Live Performance Experience
Seeing "Labyrinth" with a live orchestra is a significant enhancement of the original viewing experience. The soundtrack, composed by Trevor Jones and Harry Manfredini, is richly layered with orchestral pieces that underscore the film's fantastical and often unsettling atmosphere. The Philharmonic's performance promises to amplify the emotional impact of the film, bringing a new level of depth and grandeur to the already captivating visuals. The experience isn't just about watching a movie; it's about participating in a shared, immersive spectacle.
"We are incredibly excited to bring 'Labyrinth' to Harrisburg," says a representative from the Pennsylvania Philharmonic. "It's a film that resonates with so many people, and we believe the live orchestral performance will elevate the experience to a whole new level. It's a fantastic opportunity to combine the beloved artistry of Jim Henson with the power and beauty of live orchestral music."
