Jim Henson's Labyrinth: In Concert at The United Theater

Goblins, a labyrinth that rearranges itself and a baby who has been wished away: Jim Henson's Labyrinth comes to Downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, October 24, as a film-with-live-music night at The United Theater on Broadway. If you are filling a list of family events Los Angeles has to offer before Halloween, this one gives older kids and grown-up fans of the 1986 fantasy a reason to dress up and head downtown.

When: Saturday, October 24, 2026, 8:00 PM Where: The United Theater on Broadway, 929 Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90015 Tickets: Sold through Ticketmaster; the listing does not publish a price here Category: Film, family

What an "In Concert" screening is

The format is simple. The film plays on the big screen while live musicians perform its score in the room, so the songs and the soundtrack come from the stage instead of a speaker. Labyrinth suits the idea well. Its story of Sarah, the Goblin King and a maze full of Henson's puppet creations leans on music, and the film's songs are some of the most quoted parts of it.

Ticketmaster files the show under Film and Family, so it is aimed at a broad audience. The film is a PG fantasy with plenty of creatures, some of them a little spooky, which makes it a better fit for school-age kids and up than for toddlers. A start time of 8:00 PM is also late for younger children, so plan around bedtime.

Why it works for a Halloween-season outing

The Labyrinth world is already costume-ready. Sarah's ruffled shirt, the Goblin King's armored coat and cape and any number of goblin masks are easy to improvise at home. The listing does not mention a costume policy, so check the venue's own rules before you go. For parents hunting for things to do with kids LA offers in late October, a night at the movies with live music is a change from pumpkin patches and carnivals.

Getting there

The United Theater on Broadway sits in the historic Broadway theater district in Downtown LA, an area of old movie palaces that make the evening feel like part of the show. Metro rail stops within walking distance of Broadway, and paid lots are scattered around the district. Leave extra time on a Saturday night, and keep an eye on the box office rules for age limits and bag policies.
