Celebrate Bowie’s legacy with a screening of ‘Labyrinth’

The unexpected death of David Bowie last night has sent shock waves through the entertainment world, and social media has been flooded with acknowledgements of his musical influence and cultural significance.

Bowie was a true rock ‘n’ roll icon, pushing the boundaries of both sound and image, but he also left an indelible impression as an actor, with memorable performances in Nicolas Roeg’s “The Man Who Fell to Earth,” Martin Scorsese’s “The Last Temptation of Christ” and Christopher Nolan’s “The Prestige.” (And let’s not forget his riotous cameos in “Zoolander” and on the TV series “Extras.”)

But perhaps his most iconic film work was as Jareth the Goblin King in 1986’s “Labyrinth,” Jim Henson’s dark fantasy that developed a sizable cult following on home video after flopping at the box office. In honor of Bowie’s storied career, the Garland Theater is screening “Labyrinth” tomorrow night at 7 p.m., and admission is just $2.50. Tickets will be available for purchase at the Garland box office starting tomorrow at 4:30 p.m.
