Las Vegas’s groundbreaking venue, the Sphere, is no stranger to jaw-dropping visuals. But its latest immersive experience might be its most ambitious yet: The Wizard of Oz.
Announced in mid-2025, this new show transforms the timeless 1939 film into a 360-degree spectacle that wraps audiences in the magic of the Yellow Brick Road, the Emerald City, and Oz’s most iconic moments—all rendered across the Sphere’s massive, ultra-high-resolution interior LED screen.
Unlike a traditional movie screening, the Sphere’s version is designed to make you feel like you’re inside the story. Scenes sprawl across the 16K dome in stunning clarity, with every swirl of the tornado and shimmer of Glinda’s gown reimagined in larger-than-life scale. Advanced sound design surrounds viewers with audio that moves and shifts with the action, while scent effects and subtle motion cues add a physical dimension to the fantasy.
The experience isn’t just about spectacle—it’s also a technical marvel. Artists and engineers reworked the classic film’s visuals frame by frame to fit the Sphere’s curved interior, using cutting-edge VFX pipelines that marry nostalgia with modern detail. Audiences can expect both familiar scenes and new transitions built to capitalize on the immersive environment.
This Wizard of Oz adaptation is part of Sphere Entertainment’s push to expand beyond concerts and live events into branded cinematic experiences. Much like the venue’s debut film Postcard from Earth, this show demonstrates that the Sphere isn’t just a venue—it’s a new storytelling platform.
Tickets for The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere are expected to go on sale this summer, with previews beginning in the fall. For both lifelong fans and newcomers, it promises to be a magical trip down the Yellow Brick Road like never before.
