A specially designed version of the classic film “The Wizard of Oz” is set to screen at the Sphere in Las Vegas, starting August 28. This immersive experience features haptic seats, environmental effects, and custom scents that will transport audiences to the land of Oz alongside Dorothy.
Warner Bros. Discovery, Google, and Magnopus collaborated with Sphere Entertainment to adapt the beloved film for the venue’s unique display. The result is a reimagined “Over the Rainbow” performance by Judy Garland, remastered on the Sphere’s advanced sound system.
Sphere CEO Jim Dolan said that this event will showcase the venue’s capabilities as an experiential medium. To celebrate, a new activation was unveiled, featuring 50-foot-long legs with ruby slippers attached to the Exosphere, resembling the Sphere landing on the Wicked Witch of the East.
Tickets for “The Wizard of Oz at Sphere” start at $104 and can be purchased online at TheSphere.com.
