In 4th grade I went to Addie Stonack's house for a slumber party and my life was forever changed. After making prank calls to the boys we liked, Addie popped in a movie and that's when it happened. David Bowie appeared on screen, strutting around in tight pants and a lacy blouse, scowling with his steely eyes and pouty lips beneath his majestic and magical white mullet. It was at that moment I was instantly and permanently hooked on Bowie and on Labyrinth.For those of you who have never seen this gem, Labyrinth was directed by the late, great Jim Henson, and stars David Bowie, a young Jennifer Connelly and a ton of muppets. There's singing, dancing, magic and the bog of stench!
Now for all of you in the Los Angeles area who also had a crush on David Bowie as the Goblin King in Labyrinth, good news! The NuArt Theatre is showing the 1986 classic on Friday April 3 as part of their Midnight Movies program. Get your tickets now!
